I was vegan for years, the switch to an entirely WFPB diet for my health gave me really bad gas for months. I realized that I was eating way too many veggies and not enough carbs. When I added a lot more potatoes and whole grains back into my diet the gas almost stopped entirely. It's made such a big difference.
thank you for sharing that, I've also seen that i"ve enjoyed it when I've added more carbs. I am eating more, I appreciate your feedback for us, I'm on just about week 5 of starting this newer healthier way to eat.
When I first went vegan, I had so much gas, sometimes painful. After about 6 months it went away, as my body gut healed. One thing I did that probably made it worse was jump right in with huge portions of raw veggies, fruit, and legumes. Maybe if I had eased into a high fibre diet, it would have been easier, but going vegan and wfpb is still the best thing I ever did for my health!
Amazing to read Vanessa! But yes, going to fast with the fiber can definitely cause more issues initially. Regardless, happy to hear you're doing well!
Been vegetarian for years and now vegan. My breakthrough was understanding the concepts in the book Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon. The benefits to soaking and sprouting. I have reduced all bloating and gas symptoms and am able to eat foods I needed to avoid, by embracing soaking nuts, grains, legumes in 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar to 4 cups water overnight. Or alternatively purchase sprouted grains which gives you the same benefits of reducing the inflammatories to sensitive guts.
I’ve found this same thing. Forgive the tmi, but it’s easier to clean up and my underwear have less skid marks. I know it’s gross, but I didn’t see it until it was gone. (To take it a step further in the “too much information” arena, my libido and everything else is not dependent on medication, and is bigger and better than when I was a teenager- no sh*t)
Episode # 17 (July 2018) of The Plant Proof Podcast with Simon Hill and Dr. B is basically why I am WFPB today. Coming from a medical/surgical background, it was amazing to hear a GI specialist share science and evidence.
Cold Sores(Herpes) is best treated and Cured with Natural Roots and Herbs from my experience and how I was Cured of genital Herpes. Herbal medicine eradicate the virus, symptoms & Outbreak totally from inside and has no side effect... This is real and i used it just four weeks and tested Negative later. contact through whatsapp: +2349018197949 or inbox email; dritua859@gmail.com
I was at my all time healthiest when I never ate between meals. My rule was the first time I get the growlies is my tummy cleaning and prepping for a meal. When eating the second time I got growlies (usually about an hour later) my stomach and digestive system turned on like machinery in there. I could FEEL it doing its thing and it would work mechanically, like a machine, until my tummy was empty. It was like a wondrous miracle of nature. It gave my digestive system focused time to work, and time off between meals and holy crap the extra energy gained from not trying to digest ALL the time was remarkable. It was the best time of my life. I kept that up until I had kids and it slowly got lost in the snacks and working too hard...... I think I'm going to do that again. Thanks for the reminder!

Wii, thank you so much. My husband and I have learned a lot. We both have bad tummy's. It's so nice to have such a smart young man teaching us so much. A lot of people just have no idea. You really do help save life's. Thank you and God Bless you!
Great video. I have a legume intolerance, including even lentils. Been WFPB for 9yrs. Substituted the legumes for more starches and grains. Things are normal now. Tried pretty much everything under the sun without a desired result. I’m 66, and it seems to have gotten worse over time. So maybe it’s my age? Haven’t totally given up. I’ll start to reintroduce them very slowly. But honestly, I’m enjoying this reprieve. Might get a GI mapping. They’re not too terribly expensive. The weird thing is that I’m not constipated at all, and never feel bloating or pain...just gas off the scale.
from my experience, if you have digestive problems when going vegan, then eat low amounts or don't eat at all, high fodmap foods (nuts, seeds, cabbages, legumes etc) or raw foods. do at least 3 weeks on cooked easy to digest foods like leafy greens, certain fruits, squashes, potatoes etc, and then after this initiaul phase, you can then start to incorporate in more complex high fodmap foods like cabbages, beans, nuts, raw vegetables, etc.
I always keep full spectrum Enzymes handy, or add a TB of Anise seed in boiling water or even ACV. I bumped up my raw green and legume intake lately to balance with exercise, and the above came in so handy !
Dr. Will is a great speaker and I like how he always leads with a reference to clinical studies. I am lucky that I do not have any gut issues; even before WFPB I ate lots of beans, onions, garlic, cabbage, etc. But for people who do react to beans, I second the idea of adding a piece of kombu to your cooking beans. It has worked for family and friends.
Thank you so much Dr. B , your advice is right on, you have answered all the questions that I had for a long time, so glad that I found this video .....
It was interesting to hear him say that if you straighten out your gut, you can mitigate food sensitivities. I was gluten intolerant for 26 years. Diagnosed long before it became popular. I just happened on this "regimine" ...2 tbs chia seed and 2 tbs. oatmeal, soaked in cashew milk for 30 minutes. I microwave it like oatmeal for 1.5 minutes. I ate this twice a day for several months. My gut is much better and my gluten intolerance is gone.
How did you come across this idea? I'm having lots of gas which seems to worsen with grains, however a year or two ago I did a gluten sensitivity test which came back negative. Maybe I should try your technique...
@@Alma-si5rh it really was just a fluke. I had tried chia seed before, but I sidn't soak it and the result was not fun. I was really just shooting for a more nutritious breakfast. But the result for my gut was amazing. I had a severe case of gluten intolerance. It was so bad that I was hospitalized because they thought I had cancer. This was when I was 25. So I went completely gluten free for the next really 40 years. I'm now 66, can eat gluten no problem, and my gut is fine. For a while I couldn't eat gluten, dairy, or fodmaps. That is all gone. The only other thing I did different was take Vitamin D and B-12. So it could be a fluke, but no harm in trying.
Thank you for sharing this! I will give it a try myself, except I'll use my almond milk rather than cashew, as I'm allergic to cashew nuts. How long before you noticed you were healing? 🙂
@@lf7065 I'm not really sure because I wasn't expecting anything. The effect on my gut was pretty quick. I would say within a week. The gluten foods I tried once I noticed my gut was so much better. And once I tried a few things, I added more, then more...because I hadn't tasted this stuff in forever...then I gained 10 lbs, and now I have to lose it;-)

Bless the lord am happy to have found this page since i have some concerns about my gut..i have lots of questions i something pass gas and my body feels like something have left other times its like something blocks my passage and the gas seams forced out .i would like to know whats happening inside thanks
I’m a longtime vegan. I’m convinced I caused gut damage/dysbiosis by over using artificial sweeteners (lots of Mio in my water, splena or stevia extract in my coffee and tea, zero sugar Dr. Pepper) in addition to taking a supplement which can cause constipation. When I started getting symptoms of gas and bloating, I just figured I needed even more fiber and water and exercise. I poop(ed) every day, but I’d have a well-formed bm, followed by a couple more that were loose; I’ve heard Dr. B describe this as constipation, so after eliminating all the artificial sweeteners, I did eventually learn to cut way back on the fiber, which involved eating more refined foods than I normally did, to help my gut heal, add in magnesium citrate instead of the magnesium glycinate I had been using, and have finally come to understand and accept that I need to slow down the increasing fiber. Dr. B is great! I have his books, I need to reread them ☺️
@@tarikoktay6792 they contain enzyme little goodies that feed on the baddies that is in your gut take one after each meal they are fantastic am shore you won't look back.
In India also very variety of fermented foods they used to consume it from long time also in Eastern countries there is like fermented dough or sourdough and many different foods from long time ago
Hey I tried making sauerkraut and even kombucha. I loved the taste but I started getting weeping skin sores worse than a rash, on the lower part of my tummy. Any idea why that happened?
Matthew It may be what it had near my arm pit. Could be fungus. I kept it dry, not covered with a tiny bit of anti fungal Rx cream. Ugh, very uncomfortable

At 30:34 he talks about a plant-based diet being great for reflux. This confuses me. I struggled with it a long time (eating a western diet) then changed to a low-carb diet (the meat kind). My reflux disappeared, it was great. The. I found out plant-based is the ideal diet, so I switched. Reflux came back to haunt me again. Not to mention I am so fatigued I can't work out anymore. Are we sure plants fix it?
It helps majority of people as far as I know. There are always a minority of exceptions. There are a lot of plant based foods so it could be the particular plant foods you are eating but we don’t know. If a low carb meat diet works for you and you feel healthier with no health complications then go back to what works for you. But I know if I start back eating meat my blood pressure will go through the roof and there are millions of people living with high blood pressure at risk for heart attack and stroke. So why not try a plant based diet and see if it helps if not, no one is making you eat only a plant based diet.
@@ashleycbla Very true. There are always exceptions. Very frustrating for me though as science seems to suggest plants are the healthiest. I want to do eat whole foods plant-based, but can't figure out how to get there.
You said Whole Foods plant based but was it low or no fat? Fat can worsen reflux, look that up. So I’d suggest eating a fat free no oil diet with enough complex carbs.
Dr. I m on plant base diet vegan no soy no wheat I m dealing with candidas in gut throat mouth a lot gas .I have bowel movement every morning big . My tougue roof mouth sore .
I'm curious to know how old Dr Will is? This is the 1st time discovering him and noticing how healthy his skin looks, I wouldn't be surprised if he's older then he looks
Thanks for the information. I hav bloating since twenty yrs. I am learning so much fr all of you. I hav gut issues. So I hav learnt to do away wth beans legumes. Is it fine. As my bloating is controlled wth cooked food. A light salad. No cruciferous veggies. More plant based. Even soaking does not help so I avoid I soak my basmati rice eat my lentil lik dals. And veggies. Stopped having smoothies. Now. But will slowly start. Is my diet k. I would luv to stop my bloating. Try to hav a lectin free diet. Pl help. I enjoy my onions and garlic not too much.
Recently I was diagnosed with polymyalgia rheumatica, and had already switched to Fibre Fueled eating (out of desperation!). Any suggestions in light of this diagnose?
I would see a naturopath, my father had a high PSA years ago he had hormone treatment etc to cure his supposed prostate cancer. Recently, this past October-he noticed his PSA creeping up..I told him he needed to eat a plant based diet. He listened and eats mostly plant based-he lost about 15 lbs-he still went for a prostate biopsy etc because he was scared the cancer was back. But guess what? The doctors found zero cancer and were confused as to why there was no cancer..even with the elevated PSA. My dad told me recently he thinks he never had cancer years ago.. and thanked me for saving him. Your PSA can fluctuate for so many reasons, don't jump to treatment, and is not the end all be all predictor of prostate cancer. Don't be afraid, keep eating a plant based diet, find a naturopath or a integrative medicine doctor. Best of luck!
Love the Q & A's! Question....any benefit to drinking a glass of warm water first thing each morning vs a cold or room temperature glass if water?🤔🤔❤🌱❤🌱😊
I m vegan (eggs and fish allowed) since over 40 years. I learned from my ayurvedic detox treatments in India to drink , first thing in the morning, a big glass of lukewarm water. When I skip it the log gets lazy. So it is a good habit to take on. Same thing before going to bed. I m now over 80 years old and still in good health I feel I ow it to my loving the greens, starch and fruits mainly. I followed my gut feeling well ahead of today's interest in healthy gut .
@@ireneyacyna6425 vegans DO NoT eat eggs or dead animals fish!!! Full of lead/mercury, ?? You might enjoy watching Dr Neal Barnard on eggs, & Dr Clapper on fish👍
Cooked food is not easier to digest. It is the opposite. Cooked food lost all the enzyme in the food so the pancreas has to make all the enzyme for food digestion. It stresses out the body more. A lot of time people get bloating because they eat fruits after eating vegetables. Fruit is the easiest to digest when taken with veggie, fruit is forced to stay in the stomach longer than it is supposed to, the sugar in the fruit cause food fermentation in the stomach and create gas. Fruit should be eaten alone, half to an hour apart from other food (before not after meal).
I have been juicing for 3yrs....meaning, throwing away the fiber! Finally, I switched 3 days ago to blending my juice in my nutribullet, so I am actually taking ALL the fiber now and I have NEVER been this constipated!! I am about to go back to juicing and throwing away all the fiber again! Please help (I do take my body intake per day according to my body weigh, which is about 64oz daily)
They should put me in a data until I die😬 I am 100% whole food plant based until Sunday. Cheat once a week. And I eat pretty much same thing for a whole week until Sunday. Monday-Saturday: Broccoli, Kale, Spinach, one whole red onion, legumes, chia seeds, quinoa, walnuts, blueberries, lemons, grapefruit, kiwi, purple sweet potato, banana, orange, 3 to 6 herbal tea, kimchi and 1 healthy smoothie in the morning. Sunday: Popeyes Fried Chicken two weeks ago😝 Daily Excercise: *40-50 minutes of moderate to fast pace walking with weights to pump weights as I walk. I'm soaked when I'm done. *25 to 30 minutes of 195 Fahrenheit dry sauna *Daily photobiomodulation therapy
@pcrmchuckcarrollwlc I’ve been a vegan for twelve years unfortunately working in healthcare I contracted pylori, I was treated with antibiotics. After the meds the pain I was enduring was gone but my gut health is compromised, I’ve gone to a gastroenterologist doctor who did upper Gi test and colonoscopy as well with no resolve. I’m continuously bloated and being gassy is a understatement...whenever I poop my stomach hurts it feels like my intestines were stretched that’s the only way I can describe it, my only relief is ginger tea. I’m in need of help, my stomach pain bloated feeling and gas is extremely uncomfortable. It’s been eleven years suffering.
