Anti-Nutrients: I printed this article out a few months ago. Plants can not move as animals can, so to protect their offspring (seeds and nuts) and themselves, they evolved toxins which interfere with the digestion, protein synthesis, reproductive abilities and other functions of the insects and mammals that consume them.
MOST of the produce found in supermarkets has been hybridized to make them as sweet and/or starchy as possible-Most edible plants that are found in the wild are not available year round (ESPECIALLY in the northern climes) and do not provide enough calories for human beings to thrive on and yes, through time people have developed ways to reduce the anti-nutrient content of certain foods (e.g. Oats), but the human race did not have modern agriculture long enough to cause a major genetic change which would turn all of us into Herbivores and this is one of the brainwashed lies about Veganism that I used to accept: That we can convert certain nutrients from plants into the basic building blocks our bodies need to thrive and that is a lie: We have to have a diet high in healthy animal fats (the cholesterol hypothesis is yet another of many lies) in order to absorb certain nutrients so that we can function at our best.
The vegan diet essentially causes a person to "feed off" of their own tissues in order to live. Some get IBD or IBS in time, some get Candida, SIBO, hair loss, muscle atrophy, premature aging, thyroid problems, OCD, depression, panic attacks, osteopenia or osteoporosis and on and on.
Vegans are not saving the planet, animals or themselves. It is literally a form of brainwashing and mind control as the lack of B-vitamins, Omega 3 fatty acids and other macro and micro nutrients literally dumbs people down.
Here is a link to a great video on anti-nutrients:

One problem with the vegan diet is the high amount of carbs and fiber which DOES create gas and bloating in addition to up and down swings in blood sugar PLUS too much fiber can contribute to leaky gut and constipation (which contributes to leaky gut).
This You Tube channel and the book by its owner may sound a bit radical, but he makes a ton of sense:

There is conflicting information on what works for ALL medical conditions and what does not for several reasons:
1) When you hear someone's testimony or anecdotes as to what helped or hurt them, you are usually NOT getting the entire picture, meaning: What medications are they on and what are the side-effects of those drugs which could be worsening or creating some of their medical conditions.
2) Does this person drink alcohol and/or use a lot of caffeine? Do they have a diet high in sugar, carbs and fiber?
3) Does this person eat and drink substances which they are allergic to or have sensitivities to (thus worsening their condition(s)?
4) What undiagnosed medical conditions does this person have? E.g. glandular problems, hyper or hypogylcemia, leaky gut, food intolerances or allergies, problems with MOLD in their living area (which can mimic and worsen other disorders)
5) Do their levels of stress worsen their medical problem(s)?
6) Corporations and easily influenced or controlled govt regulatory agencies will put profit before people and this is not new, so despite the BS so many GI doctors spout on a lack of research into diet affecting IBS and IBD, most of them are outright lying because even with the near fully controlled fields of medicine, there are mainstream medical sources which do state that diet makes a major difference in health outcomes BUT that's ALWAYS with some kind of medication(s) which means greed and psychopathy.
NOT THAT LONG AGO, most diseases were fairly rare, but between the eighty-five thousand plus synthetic chemicals in our environment (which includes agricultural chemicals and heavy metals, how our water supply has been violated with fluoride and many other toxins, the off-gassing of persistent organic pollutants from personal care to cleaning products to clothing and all of the building materials in our dwellings, to ALL wireless networks, and microwave exposure to the horrible short and long-term side-effects of OTC and prescription drugs to the lies about cholesterol and healthy fats which has 100% led to a physical degeneration making people dumber, weaker, sicker-Vaccines, mold in living areas, the off-gassing of POPs in ALL modern buildings, and much, much more-These abominations have created the laundry list of diseases which people have been conditioned into accepting as "normal life" for not that long in our modern history: Despite the garbage you may have heard about people living longer, much of that's a lie and its due to modern plumbing among other things: Human beings, if left as close to nature as possible are pretty damned hearty and healthy and all of that has been corrupted and adulterated by a very, very corrupt system.
I ain't no dummy, but for nearly three-years I fell for what some people call "the vegan agenda" and I am positive that this and the Entyvio infusions I had have led to my current IBD flareup that's in its eighth (approximately) month.
You're smart avoiding processed SEED OILS such as grapeseed, flax (poison), sesame (poison), sunflower, soy (pure poison), chia (very high in anti-nutrients), safflower and others, but there are plenty of supplements with safer oils and I learned the hard way that its essential to have animal-based amino acids, proteins and fats in order to build and repair our bodies;The vegan diet literally is a self-cannibalizing form of "life" and I have literally listened to THOUSANDS of videos and read THOUSANDS of pages on the "health benefits" of the vegan diet from shills such as Gregor and tons of You Tube vegan influencers who parrot their cherry-picked (and usually corporate and sometimes Seventh Day Adventist influenced studies.
And since people with IBS and IBD are often anemic, it is crucial to get heme iron from red meat and other animal sources-Grass fed beef liver and free-range chicken liver IS healthy if its clean sourced.
I take a B-complex, electrolytes from Concentrace Minerals (liquid form), vitamin C from Megafood, about 25 milligrams of Iodine, fish oil, Vitamin D3 from Lanolin (Sheep's wool). I drink ginger and/or chamomile and/or mint tea. I am taking 20 Mg of Predndisone because the Entyvio 100% has made things far worse than they otherwise would be (my fault).
I have begun incorporating honey (with my tea), steamed carrots and coconut water into my diet because my fatigue from my anemia, my crohn's and the deep fatigue side-effect from the Entyvio really slowed me down: I had to incorporate some carbs back into my diet, but for now, no eggs, the only dairy is some cheese that has no or low lactose, I do use butter, I eat chicken, red meat, turkey and some fish here and there. I DO drink carbonated water, but zero caffeine, zero chocolate, no grains, seeds or nuts (which are sandpaper or razors to some people with IBS and IBD) so even though I am still in my flareup, my body handles animal products with far more ease than produce (unless well-steamed)-Minimal fiber-The fats and proteins from animal products DO form stool comprised mainly of bacteria, water, protein and fat, yet I bet that most GI doctors and their nurse practicioners do not tell people to avoid milk and go on a low residue diet.
Even potatoes are very high in anti-nutrients (most are in the skin).
I hope that some of this has been of help.
I literally have listened to a thousand or more "anti-vegan" videos which although extreme in some cases, taught me a lot about nutrition and yes, as a vegan, I did learn a lot about health but I was getting only a fraction of the truth because the vegan diet is very inflammatory. For people who are on a crap standard American diet (SAD) that go to a clean vegan diet, then they are going from a horrible diet to a much less horrible but cleaner diet which in time begins to take its toll from nutrient deficiencies, high fiber, high carbs, stress on the GI tract from eating and eliminating too many times a day, the very real damaging effects of anti-nutrients on every single system in the body.
Plus due to monocrops, poor irrigation practices, soil depletion, agrichemicals and more, the vitamin and mineral content of most modern produce is horrible.
People were never meant to be sick in such high numbers.
Its not fun (for some), but to look outside of our conditioning can be a very liberating experience.
, I always have something fermented at least once a day. Sunshine ( mild not blistering heat) really does help - I have no idea why, but it does, just taking vit D3 does not have the same effect I still make smoothies three glasses at a time and store in the refrigerator. I am still doing the bone broth , the vegetables and the tablespoon of homemade apple sauce. It’s not hard to do. It’s just that I have to plan things out - no more spontaneous take out ordering and heavens I really miss bread.
