Thank you for acknowledging this. It is really distressing when we comment on social media about not being able to be vegan, even though we would like to, due to severe IBS. People tear us to shreds, even though they have zero clue what IBS is about or what our restrictions are. It's fine for them, eating all those delicious vegan foods at home and in restaurants. I would absolutely love to be able to eat them too - but unfortunately vegan menus are actually the worst for IBS due to the high presence of gluten, onions, garlic, pulses, legumes and so many fruits and vegetables that we can't eat. Usually I can't even find a snack in a store that I can eat on the go. The sad thing is that animal products are the ones that do not make us feel terrible. And even finding ethical animal products is difficult if you don't live in a big rich city in the west :(
So strange I have ibs and I went vegan the last couple weeks and I've literally felt like I am dying. I had no idea this could be a problem I feel awful about eating meat and dairy and just eating it makes me feel like I'm a terrible person but my body is freaking out right now eating only vegan.
@@puppycatsbee Obviously it requires a lot of thinking and reading and the ability to cook, but it's very possible to have a healthy diet if you avoid all those trigger foods. There's a lot of food in the world!
@@s.scolarusso8990 By the way, a couple of months ago I was prescribed Trazodone and it's basically a miracle. I take 75mgs before bed and all the bloating symptoms are gone! Can't believe it, it's amazing. Still mostly following my diet, but I've been experimenting with reintroducing things and it's going really well :)
I am so incredibly sorry!!! I can imagine that the ethical aspect of it along with the toxicity of the internet must tear at your self esteem. I hope things so well for you!!!
Straw Baby umm basically certain veggies, and my good friend has a hobby farm and treats his animals amazing like I want to live there... and I get most of my meat from him. Because I know it doesn’t have any allergens in it.
Really helpful video! I’m a Muslim and I grew up eating meat all my life till II turned vegan since a year only to realise and learn I’m allergic to all soy products, most of the legumes and some vegetables. The transition has been hard and I’m finding ways to cope with it. Love from India
It’s so hard being plant based When ur bulking clean having 220g of protein at least 3000kcal a day with a nut allergy you can only have so many supplements You actually need something like lean meats say chicken or turkey
I have nut allergies (all, except peanut which is technically legume) and seed allergies. I found that sunflower seeds (can have those) are a great replacement for things like almond flour. Just take a coffee bean grinder and grind the seeds with that. You get sunflower flour with the same texture and nutritional values as almond flour ^^
Gosh.....You know, i always want to be a full vegan forever, always. But with a soy, wheat, coconut, oral allergy syndrom( so a lot of fruits), most spices and also a chronic oesophagitis AND IBS. I suffered 5 long years because i was stubborn, didn't wanna give up my vegan diet. But the list of food i can't eat is insane. Then when i hit the menopause, the vegan diet made my thyroid function decrease and i was close to have the meds for it. It's very common among women after 45 ,as my vegan dietician told me, to have thyroid issues when on a vegan diet. My hair fell, i suffered muscle loss, i had heart palpitations at night, weakness, because my bowels could not process the food i was eating. I did the FODMAP protocol supervised by my doctor and my dietician 4 times, but can't reintroduce a thing. I'd have to basically stick to phase one forever. This year winter was very long and i felt the worst depression ever, and that's when i was tired of feeling bloated, farting 24 hours a day, i even lost my job because of my IBS, can you imagine that? At my age? I was so done with feeling hungry all the time. Finally, it's those test results about low iron, low b12, low magnesium that made me decide i had enough. I may want to eat like this but my body doesn't. My health has improved, thyroid went back up normal and i'm now a part time vegan. I still can't eat meat, probably won't, but i have fish and greek yugurt, eggs. It changed everything for me. It's sad, i am angry with my body, but i just couldn't take the pain no more, and the social exclusions from all those farts, and my depressive moods because of it. I'm glad i did my part, but now i gotta chose my well being over animal. Thank you for showing others there's a half-way. It's very kind. Kinder than i've seen on reddit and other places.
CARRIE MY LOVE. still looking for plant based doctors even though the idea of consuming animal products after ten years crushes me. This video is so responsible and kind, I ADORE YOUUUUUUU. Such a good channel for vegans/struggling vegans struggling with digestive issues. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Great idea for a video! I first got ibs while aftef becoming vegan, I gained weight but felt constantly ill then followed the fodmap diet for 8 months (subscribed to you for a while ^.^) as well as seeing a dietician. The outcome was that I found I am VERY intolerant to gluten, most oligosacs, especially our worst enemy onions as well as lots of lentils and pulses. I have tried to reintroduce them multiple times but it just end up unwell. My approach is to still avoid meat as I've been veggie for so long and continue to have all vegan products except eggs, including in a couple of quorn products like the mince or gf sausages. It makes me feel better about my impact, still saddens me a little but obviously more people attempting veganism and sustainability imperfectly is more worthwhile than a few being perfect 🤗❤ Thanks for all the content you produce and the wonderful fb group Carrie it's really takes the edge off when you feel ill being able to contact others who feel the same!
Thankyou so much for this. Im struggling so much with digestion atm. Haven't eaten animals for 10 years. Trying everything not to eat meat but am considering that i may need to try fish to try help myself, the thought makes me sick and have been in tears over the decision but my life is being so impacted by it. I really appreciate your compassion in this video even though it clearly goes against your morals.
Im in the same trouble, actually eating eggs and fish... In my country its difficult to acces to product like Tempeh or Tofu so and with this virus its so more difficult... Dont worry this is temporally but now you have to restore your health. We can help each other if you want
How are you feeling now super spudboi? Have you changed much in your diet? I am also vegan and struggling alot and trying to figure out what I can do with diet to improve health
Can someone explain how being fully vegan helps the environment? I can see how cutting out meat helps with water consumption but I don't think being vegan is equally better. My confusion stems from the fact that vegan foods come wrapped in plastic and packaging that ends up in the land fill. I always see Vegans saying that it's better but I think it's the same amount of waste as eating meat because of all the single use waste that ends up in the trash. Can someone tell me of I'm wrong or looking at it in a different way?
Good question. Most vegans I know actively try to avoid single-use plastic, but there has been a lot of marketing around new vegan processed foods in the past couple of years as more and more people decide to eat less animal-based products. So it's not really related to being an environmental-vegan. The bigger issue is that while plastic is an easy problem to see and therefore understand, the catastrophic climate change we are experiencing is down to greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation. Because livelock has to be fed for months to years, depending on the species, for them to eventually become a small amount of food for humans to eat, the resources used and the resultant byproducts actually have a massive impact on the planet compared to the same amount of plant-based food, which we can eat directly. Resources required to make an animal-based product: the water they drink, water to grow GM soy crops, pesticides and insecticides for these non-human standard crops, huge amounts of land to grow these crops - majority of deforestation, even more land if grass-fed, ships to transport the feed and livestock internationally, then this GM soy to feed the cows, prophylactic antibiotics. Byproducts: methane from their farts and fermenting waste - the most potent greenhouse gas, CO2 from fuel use, toxic runoff from the waste into our waters, which cause vast dead zones in the ocean I'd recommend reading through this study as it's the comprehensive to date: www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/may/31/avoiding-meat-and-dairy-is-single-biggest-way-to-reduce-your-impact-on-earth
I chose sustainability and reduction of waste and greenwitch aesthetic when it comes to my life style, because I can't go fully vegetarian or vegan due to nut, soy, legume and a number of fruit allergies. And I was never on some plant based trains because of the deforestation and water issues for monoculture crops, or forcing farmers to plant common food that don't grow well on their land and not finding a market for the crop that does grow well. At the end of the day, to me, you can't win with a diet alone. I went bagless, buy bulk of certain produce, repair clothes when I can, save all my bones and vegetable cuts for soup, I'll buy "damaged" produce if available, cuts that are "undesirable" like bones, feet, ears, organs etc over the typical muscle. Because to me, it feels like I'm at least respecting more of the animal by using parts that most will ignore and would end up in the trash. I often will use the same batch of bones 3-4 times for broth and soup. And the bones go into the garden if I'm renting an area with a garden. And generally I only have a serving a meat once a day. I also make it an effort not to have a life style "for the animals" but to live with respect for the planet as a whole, that includes plants, fungi, animals, humans, insects, all of biodiversity. To me that mind set helps me keep flexible and not rigid so I can adjust and adapt to where I'm living and what foods and materials are available to me. It's also easier on my wallet because at the end of the day if I can buy something localish, and it will last me for a month, I'm going to buy that over the cruelty free, not local, "organic" and will only last me for less than 2 weeks. Especially if you factor in the time, gas, packaging, from delivery to the store then to my home.
do you know which legumes? I would recommend rice flour, millet flour, sorghum, seeds as substitutes for anything that uses nuts. Can you eat black beans, kidney beans, black-eyed peas? For fruits, have you tried rambutans, lychees, jackfruit, longans, sapota, guavas? Are you allergic to those fruits? Vegan or not, I suggest trying these to help with your allergies. For vegan milk, try banana milk if you aren't allergic to bananas, or rice milk, hemp milk, flax milk, coconut milk. Hopefully that helps, based on your answers to the questions I asked.
Any suggestions to reduce enviro impact from food for someone allergic to soy, nuts, chickpeas and peanuts? It seems most mainstream vegan foods often include these foods. Thanks 🙂
i can't eat potatoes, it changed this year and i cant eat any sort of mushrooms, i have a gluten allergy and milk. Also i big problem is that so many products have glucose/-fructose syrup and that is the WORST for me. Beans and lentils i havent even eaten for a year, i am so afraid of the pains. I have a bad time going on with IBS and i need to be vegan, there is no other option for me. Its just so damn stressful, everyone is super worried since i eat only gluten free pasta, carrots, corn and like alpro products. Do you eat like japanese food? Nori? kinda afraid to try it.
I posted on a vegan subreddit how much I like vegan food because I’m severely allergic to dairy, even though I’m not vegan. Someone said, “Why aren’t you vegan?” I said that I was allergic to milk, gluten, bananas, spinach, pomegranates, pineapple, lemons, limes, kiwi, dragonfruit, star fruit, oranges, grapefruit, celery, agave, and others. They said, “Food allergies are no excuse.” I got about -60 upvotes on my comment, along with many vegans being upset with me. I didn’t get any positive feedback. I don’t know whether I can like vegans or not. They hate me.
Speaking on behalf of all vegans, we're all individual people with nothing in particular in common besides a concern for animals welfare. Also people hanging around subreddits aren't representative especially 😅 you do the best you can do 👍
If you do your best to honestly minimize your consumption of these products, you're already vegan. It's already defined as what is practicable in the definition of veganism
Thanks for sharing! I’ve been vegan for 9 years- but recently developed IBS and it seems all the protein sources have been relying on for years, and everything with wheat sets me off 😭
I have tried vegan for so many years .. I have IBS D and fiber gives me terrible diarrhea 😢 . But I keep trying anyway . But I can’t always stick to it to a T.😢
I am trying to go vegetarian, I have been super bloated since I started a week ago. It has caused me loads of pain and discomfort. We are used to eating alot of greens, so this was unexpected. We realise we are very lucky. We buy second hand as much as possible to save the planet. We grow some of our food. On our balcony. We also have a couple of fruit trees in it, and this captures carbon, so bonus. We also try to get local things. I came here looking for a way to handle the ibs I have since I have gone vegetarian but I stayed for the level headed approach.
Take your vacuum put the brush on the end of the hose wherever you're heating elements are or your vent for your blower for your refrigerator.. go clean the living crap out of it and I can almost guarantee that noise will stop.
What a beautiful video, Carrie! I really appreciate your positive outlook and the practical suggestions you’re offering without the dogma promoted by many vegans. Alice xx
Nice share. Going vegan closed my leaky gut(allergies) & now I have no more seasonal or cat allergies! I found that acidic things like citric acid, soda & energydrinks can cause new holes, & even Ibs.
@@CarrieGill_TheWildGutProject They just finished the biggest study ever done on soda. It shortens your life😱 Surely we carry on with a leaky gut & only get our symptoms treated.
concerning the beef chicken comparison. i had that in university last semester and apparently for a cow to gain 1 kilo of mucle you have to feed it up to 10 kg of matter. while a chicken turns nearly all of the matter it gets into bodymass. so if you are in there primarely for the animal souls that you harm directly, yes beef is the smarter choice. but if it is the enviroment (also evil methan cow burps) and saving resourses , than eating the chicken is the more sensible choice. .... and well if you have to eat animal for health reasons than its eather chicken or actullay free roam grass fed beef. there it doesent really matter that the cow needs to eat so much in order to gain weight bcs ... well its not like you can eat the grass your self. so no extra resoursess are wasted here. the last point is guessed tho. bcs maybe the cows still take up resoursess somehow.
There's no perfect solution, grass-fed cows use a huge amount of land and fart a lot too... and that's why we should all just be vegan haha. I wonder if the best option ( if you have to eat an animal product) would be eggs IF you can raise the hens yourself and feed them your food scraps. It's not a coincidence they're all female and produce an unnatural amount of eggs of course, but at least those particular chickens could have an okay time. Still not healthy though 🤔
Happy you aren’t bashing like some people do. Nice video. For me I can’t really go vegan when I would like too. Being a minor I can’t really buy my owns foods. Also haven’t eaten burgers for a couple months now. Also haven’t eaten fish in who knows how long. Sea food is just...gross anyway. Over all I glad you aren’t pressuring anyone.
Hi Carrie, tried a couple time to sign up for you fridge notes, but I didn’t get it and it said it was sent when I tried again. I checked my junk, but nothing there either🤔
I'm vegetarian and I want to make the full switch to veg but have a deathly treenut allergy. Luckily when cooking at home its easy to substitute with peanuts, but there are so many vegan restaurants and vegan frozen foods that use treenuts :(
That would be really hard eating out! It sounds like you're eating vegan whenever it's safe for you to do so, which fits the definition of veganism. Just wondering, do you have more luck going to non-vegan places and having their accidentally vegan options? E.g. tomato pasta or veggie sushi?
In a recent video by Plant-Based News on the Rawvana "drama" Klaus included an interview he did with a medical expert on IBS and SIBO, perhaps you might find it interesting to watch.
I have IBS and an allergy to nuts and fish 😒 obviously it’s easy to strike the fish out but otherwise being vegan would be essentially impossible for me 😭
it’s not that easy for everyone though...i have tried eating plant based so many times and every time i have to stop because my digestion is so painful :( and i want to be vegan so bad. i literally cry about it all the time.
Thank you for acknowledging this. It is really distressing when we comment on social media about not being able to be vegan, even though we would like to, due to severe IBS. People tear us to shreds, even though they have zero clue what IBS is about or what our restrictions are.

It’s so hard being plant based
When ur bulking clean having 220g of protein at least 3000kcal a day with a nut allergy you can only have so many supplements
You actually need something like lean meats say chicken or turkey

@@CarrieGill_TheWildGutProject They just finished the biggest study ever done on soda. It shortens your life😱 Surely we carry on with a leaky gut & only get our symptoms treated.
Thank you for this video!
concerning the beef chicken comparison. i had that in university last semester and apparently for a cow to gain 1 kilo of mucle you have to feed it up to 10 kg of matter. while a chicken turns nearly all of the matter it gets into bodymass. so if you are in there primarely for the animal souls that you harm directly, yes beef is the smarter choice. but if it is the enviroment (also evil methan cow burps) and saving resourses , than eating the chicken is the more sensible choice. .... and well if you have to eat animal for health reasons than its eather chicken or actullay free roam grass fed beef. there it doesent really matter that the cow needs to eat so much in order to gain weight bcs ... well its not like you can eat the grass your self. so no extra resoursess are wasted here. the last point is guessed tho. bcs maybe the cows still take up resoursess somehow.
There's no perfect solution, grass-fed cows use a huge amount of land and fart a lot too... and that's why we should all just be vegan haha. I wonder if the best option ( if you have to eat an animal product) would be eggs IF you can raise the hens yourself and feed them your food scraps. It's not a coincidence they're all female and produce an unnatural amount of eggs of course, but at least those particular chickens could have an okay time. Still not healthy though 🤔
Happy you aren’t bashing like some people do. Nice video. For me I can’t really go vegan when I would like too. Being a minor I can’t really buy my owns foods. Also haven’t eaten burgers for a couple months now. Also haven’t eaten fish in who knows how long. Sea food is just...gross anyway. Over all I glad you aren’t pressuring anyone.
Hi Carrie, tried a couple time to sign up for you fridge notes, but I didn’t get it and it said it was sent when I tried again. I checked my junk, but nothing there either🤔
You mentioned Kristen Leo!!!! OMG UA-cam is not as big it feels!!!! I love your videos.
I love her videos! She makes ethical and sustainable living so much easier to understand. And thank you 😆😘 xx
I'm vegetarian and I want to make the full switch to veg but have a deathly treenut allergy. Luckily when cooking at home its easy to substitute with peanuts, but there are so many vegan restaurants and vegan frozen foods that use treenuts :(
That would be really hard eating out! It sounds like you're eating vegan whenever it's safe for you to do so, which fits the definition of veganism. Just wondering, do you have more luck going to non-vegan places and having their accidentally vegan options? E.g. tomato pasta or veggie sushi?
I have a nickel allergy, so lots of vegan foods are out. But, I eat what I can. Not letting this bring me down. 🙂🌱
Same girl saaame,i was looking for someone like myself
Great video.
In a recent video by Plant-Based News on the Rawvana "drama" Klaus included an interview he did with a medical expert on IBS and SIBO, perhaps you might find it interesting to watch.
Eelke Aptroot So disappointing
But where does everything come from?
You are the best :)
You are glowing!
Aw thank you, that's sweet of you to say x
The Wild Gut Project Happy you are looking healthy. I hope you can start to incorporate more foods.
I have IBS and an allergy to nuts and fish 😒 obviously it’s easy to strike the fish out but otherwise being vegan would be essentially impossible for me 😭
Please a little louder
Yeah my friend has IBS and has been vegan for 20 years so when you’re motivated by the victims of your actions you find a way.
Proof? Or just take you're word for it
it’s not that easy for everyone though...i have tried eating plant based so many times and every time i have to stop because my digestion is so painful :( and i want to be vegan so bad. i literally cry about it all the time.
@@maddymaxwell1947 Im really sorry!!
Yeah no IBS is different for every single person, your comment is stupid.
Yeah. Because everyone's IBS is exactly the same. You sound like you know what you're talking about. 🙄
Yeah, I can't go vegan.
