Thank you for sharing! I was vegetarian and vegan for 30 years…my hair got thin and dry, very anxious…as if I was vanishing day by day… I now eat animal products from local organic farmers, I pray over my food and I never felt better! Self love is soooo important and I still do care for animals a lot! ❤
Eczema is directly related to a Candida Fungal overgrowth. A vegetarian diet would exasperate this overgrowth due to the high rate of grains, sugars, and fruits. I was raised vegetarian too and had digestive issues starting at 12 years old.
The only time I was having yeast infections is when I was vegan, regular, chronic, nothing helped. Since I had started eating not only eggs and fish, but real meat and quality dairy, It has never made come back. Never, it’s just gone… Whole food omnivore diet is cure.
Thank you for sharing your story. I really appreciated your concluding remarks, especially. It sounds like the vegetarian, then vegan, diet set off rampant, systemic inflammation (nutrient deficiency and all that), especially in your GI tract. I’ve been battling chronic Lyme for many years and the cross-over of symptoms is remarkable. I don’t want to throw a bunch of unsolicited advice your way, but in case you have any further inflammation flares, acupuncture, Epsom salt baths, and lymph drainage massage have all helped my body process toxins and decrease inflammation, in case looking into either of those can help support your body and mind as you continue your journey towards recovery. You have suffered so much, and I am so inspired by your vulnerability and your strength. Wishing you nothing but healing and happiness. ❤❤ (Also, total side note, and not dietary, but I recently discovered a skin balm made with tallow and my skin loves it SO MUCH! It melts into the skin and is so nourishing and hydrating. Which makes sense since tallow matches our natural oil so closely. I’ve always loved using a variety of plant oils on my skin, but tallow beats them all!)
New subbie. I love your authenticity and I'm glad you're feeling better. I'm on my journey as well. Only 10 days carnivore and I'm looking forward to healing.
Vegan is a great short term detox diet (3 months maximum). Long term it causes devastating malnutrition. I grieve for the babies and children raised vegan and vegetarian. I'm so thankful you are coming into good health and thank you for sharing your story.
Vegan isn’t even a diet. You can have very unhealthy plantbased diets and very healthy plantbased diets. Whatever you’re trying to claim is simply false
So I've heard people explain vegan is an ethical stance and not a diet, so i looked up the definition and the vegan society who made it up said it was not a diet but can certainly cover that subject. that plant-based is the diet, and that if for whatever reason we couldn't get what we needed nutritionally without hurting or killing animals, we could still stand to move away from using animals in any other capacity especially when it is unnecessary and causes needless suffering, that's the definition of vegan. I think this makes more sense than a diet. I'm not vegan, i think some animal pain and suffering is necessary and good as well as the agency we take away from them to do that, since there is no way to get protein any other way, but it is wrong for entertainment or for the taste. The way they do bullfighting for instance, or when animals go stir-crazy in zoos rather than living their best life in the wild is just sad to see. Dog fighting or killing animals in "halal" way where they bleed out to death fully conscious just seems wrong too. I think being not vegan or just not giving a shit about animal welfare is more for people who live in areas where they can't grow food and they say a prayer for the animal they hunt out of necessity. But they don't have resources or desire to cause unnecessary pain because they aren't making Sea World out there or anything, so in a way that would make them more vegan than the rest of us. What are your thoughts?
@@ojk14325b I agree - veganism is a stance, not a diet. The diet is called being "plant based", or "vegan diet" (not the same word as "veganism"/"vegan"). You can eat plant-based, but also wear new leather, which is not vegan. However, the part avout protwin not being available in anything aside from meat is totally wrong - just take a look at all of the legume-options availavle I think the main issue might be the composition of the total food. Animals produce fats that are mot available in plants, and that the human body doesn't seem to be quite good at producing itself, which seems to lead to some brain issues as people get older 🤔 From what I've seen, a low/no-added-sugar diet is the healthiest diet
Yes you don't have to be 100% Vegan to be healthy.The blue zones and western A price foundation proved this false.The longest living people are not vegan or vegetarian.They eat mostly plant based diet with small amounts of Animal products.Flexatarian/Semi-vegatarian
Great video girl! I can feel your pain, it took me 9 years to figure out that veganism is a delusion... And now I feel so sad about how much I have hurt my health and also about other people hurting themselves right now thinking they're doing something positive.... And it's even more sad knowing that vegans are usually the ones who really cares about their health... 🥺😔 I wish you recover as soon as possible ❤️ I'm on my journey to recover as well 😌
Really? Veganism is a delusion? Then how come Jehina Malik, a vegan since birth, is still alive and healthy? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BgzOIROVVBI.html
I fry my fatty burger patties in beef tallow. I eat 2 to 4 eggs per day. Never felt better. When I tried vegetarian, I had bad joint pains, constipation, acne, bloat, lethargy, bacterial infections, hair loss, impotence, bad vision, sunburns, stomach pains, dry skin, gallstones, back pains, kidney infections, and the list goes on
My vegetarianism is based on animal cruelty in intense farming. I feel that if we can source our animal products from the most humane places, such as farmer's markets, or a local farm, it's the best we can do. I eat fish a couple times a week, and eggs. But never dairy, or meat. The cruelty, the forced feeding, hormones, antibiotics, I can't condone it, so I don't take part. I use vitamin supplements, and avoid all grains and lentils.I went veggie 20 years ago, to beat my D2, which it did very successfully.
The hormone bull crap is exactly that. Bull crap. It is not true at least nowadays. There's a washout. The animals have to go through that before they even allowed to be sold.
Very thorough and well done video! I found your video from a comment someone left on the Vegan Deterioration channel 😀 so glad I found you! You covered everything we learn when leaving veganism! It's funny you mention your username was "Health Goddess" 🤣 during veganism mine was "Goddess Herb" lol. I am so grateful to have waken up from that delusion! And happy for you, wish you the best healing on your journey to health now 😊
Thank you for your honesty here, and sharing your journey to better health! I was a very long time vegan, over 20 years; I started out lacto-ovo vegetarian for about 10 years before that. I am 59 years old, and just began my own journey back to health, and started adding in animal products to my diet about 1 year and 8 months ago. I never imagined I would ever eat animal products again in my life, but after decades of suffering from "mysterious" health issues that no doctors could seem to find a reason for, in 2021 I decided to try something different with how I eat. My story is very long and involved, much too long to go into here. But I definitely relate to the bloating, explosive diarrhea, weakness, anemia, and the assorted emotional/mental disruptions (extreme anxiety/panic, irritability, obsessive thinking, eating disorder, etc. Also the terrible toll all of this mental instability took on my relationships, including the end of my marriage 7 years ago. My life was literally a wreck for decades! I still eat a lot of vegetables and gluten free grains (I have celiac) and beans/legumes, but I now include organic probiotic dairy every day, and throughout the week I have servings of wild caught fish, organic eggs, and also grass-fed beef and lamb on occasion. I would like to include more of the beef and lamb, but it is hard to find reputable sources for these that I can afford on a regular basis. My health has gotten better, but I am still trying to heal from all the damage that was done over so many years. I have what I think is permanent nerve damage; I suffer from frequent, almost daily neuropathy (burning nerve pain) in my feet and legs. I pray that this will someday resolve, but it hasn't yet. I still have frequent episodes of extreme fatigue that hit me from out of the blue, but this seems to be getting somewhat better. Thankfully, I rarely get bloated anymore, and rarely have issues with diarrhea. I am so thankful for this! The only problem is that I don't have a bowel movement every day anymore, it's usually only every 2 or 3 days, and this concerns me. I think a bowel movement every day is ideal. Anyway, thank you for sharing your story! I will check out more of the videos on your channel 😊. God bless you, and I wish you continued success on your journey to health!
As an ex-vegan who was primarily into RAW food veganism for 6 years, I love what you said about your morals remaining the SAME now as to when you were vegan! You are very well-spoken and what you are doing takes courage and wisdom. New Subscriber here!!! xxx
@@Princessoftradition u can’t have morals against animal cruelty and then go and exploit and kill animals for a taste preference. There is no study or science to say u can’t be perfectly healthy without eating animals. U r an enemy to the animals. U r an animal abuser
@@MoistVegan Remember you typed that. YT is an entertainment platform. Animal based stearic acid (livestock tallow) and animal based activated carbon (livestock bones) are the industry standard in processor manufacturing. Explain how you replied without using something with a processor. Smoke signals? LOL You didn't answer the question. I accept your concession.
I’m glad you went into so much depth. Everyone needs to hear the truth from real people about the long-term health consequences of plant-based eating. I hope you continue to heal and feel better.
I came here from Vegan Deterioration's channel. The vegans will come for you as they seem to have a problem with anyone telling the truth about veganism. There is much support in the ex-vegan community, so, please dont let tgem get to you!

This video came up in my feed. Lately I have been known as "The 39 year carnivore" When I turned 15 I decided I was going to go against health advice and try and give myself a heart attack. My diet consisted of beef, some poultry, seafood, eggs dairy and everything cooked in butter or lard. After 10 years I was talked into a vegetarian diet. That lasted 7 months and I got so sick I went back to meat and never left it. This from an avid gardener! My organically grown fruits are well received by friends and the ducks, but other than citrus and plantains I eat none of it. Now at 54 I am the healthiest of my friends and look the youngest Good for you waking up and keep spreading the word!.
Your hair is very dark for being 54, do you dye it or is that natural? What about others in your family? I've seen that vegans often lose pigment in their hair, which is why I'm curious if you're a good case of the opposite.
@@dallyh.2960 I do not dye my hair or do anything to it other than washing with homemade soap and applying lard when IO want to dress up. My mom lost hair color and was coloring it as early as her 40's. I remember that Miss Clairol where she used plastic gloves and mixed the stuff on her hair. My dad had dark hair up till his 60's but the grey hair came in very slowly.
Thanks for sharing your story. May I ask what blood type you have? There is the idea that some b. types do need more animal-based protein in their diet.
@@carolina_is_free Honestly I have no idea. I have not had a blood test since 1996 and don't know if any of my old medical records still exist. I am going through my parent's old files so who knows what I might find.
I’m so sorry you’ve suffered so much. Glad you’re feeling better now!!! I agree with what you said about factory farming, it is hell on earth!! I love how you care about the animals and work hard to get meat from local farms. I’m currently mostly a vegetarian and have been for about half my life and appreciate your perspective!!
@@lauraska95 nothings really wrong with it other than antinutrients and its a seed I just meant that its not comparable to meat in regards to protein and vegans always try to say “quinoa is a complete protein”
@@lauraska95 I personally hate quinoa, I used to try to eat it because I thought it was healthy, but now i don't believe it has much bioavailable nutrition, so I've stopped forcing myself to eat something that tastes like sand.
This was great. I too am Ex-vegan. I am glad more of us telling our truth. I hope you continue to heal and flourish. Vegan diets are great for short term detoxification only. Plants can useful but definitely shouldn't be the only thing we consume. I believe that when people say animal fats cause health issues, that the oils it's cooked in is causing the issue not the meat. Crisco was created in the early 20th century and is a prime example of an unhealthy veggie oil that is hydrogenated.
I’m so happy for you and being able to get yourself out. The ideology is really tough to escape. Thank you for your comprehensive video. I am sure you are helping many with this video
Thank you for posting this. I'm a pescovegetarian, and I always wanted to become vegan but I have a hard time giving up on 🐟. I thought I'm weak because of that. But now, listening to you, I guess my weakness was actually good.
Milk based products is the only thing that really makes me constipated and I used to suffer so bad as a kid and realized around age 15 when I finally noticed the pattern. But as for plants I would say that's where most intestine discomfort / gas will come from.
I respect your opinion. But that’s definitely not everyone experience . I have been plant based for 11 yrs and I never ever got so many problems , like many other vegans 🌱
Thank you so much for speaking up. You are a good person. I hope your words touch others that are mislead. The vegan/vegetarian craze/myth is destroying many people and promoting much suffering, even that some people do ok for a while. The ammount of suffering that this diets are causing and the lack of real analysis of the diets are criminal.
I watched the whole thing. You managed to pack in a lot in 49 minutes. It would be good if you linked to the 2 books you mentioned and I would love to see before and after photos of you. Keep up the good work!
I think you are in a MUCH healthier mindset. Your humility is honestly inspiring and I will probably appreciate the animals more. I think it’s probably good for us to acknowledge their sacrifice.
I've been watching 'Why I'm no longer vegan..' videos for ~4yrs & yours is by far the best/most thorough. Tomorrow's breakfast omelette will include an extra egg.. in your honour.👍🙏
Thank you for this honest, in depth video. What do your parents think about veganism / vegetarianism now? Do they support your journey? I wish you all the best for your future
Their opinions/beliefs haven’t changed. My dad supports my journey because he wants the best for me but my mom does not support my journey. Thank you 🙏
@@Princessoftradition the fact that the purpose of your "journey" is to encourage the mass torture and murder of innocent animals is quite sad. You were raised by such compassionate people, yet you've ended up as an advocate for the largest holocaust the world has ever seen.
What a great programme. It must have taken a lot of courage to make this video. I'm type 2 Diabetic and have been lied to by the media and health officials about carbs and plant base diets. So like you I started to research why I couldn't lower my blood sugar, so I'm not perfect, but at least I'm now making progress. I do suggest you tune into r Ke Barry
In 2022, a study was conducted in the Netherlands by Gfk Research Agency. Vegans and vegetarians had to complete a survey form themselves. They had to fill in what they ate and how often. It showed that 40% of vegetarians REGULARLY ate meat and 50% of vegans REGULARLY had milk and eggs. This may explain why they can 'stick' to the diet for so long. The research results can be read, for example, in "Voeding magazine 2022 number 2".
WOW. Packed with very useful information. If even 10% of this information is correct, this should be a warning to vegans that this diet may be unhealthy.
I've been vegan for 12 years by now and I'm so torn currently. I'm in therapy for PTSD, have been in therapy for ED's, have been both severely underweight and severely overweight. This year I want to tackle my physical health as well and I've stumbled upon criticism of the vegan diet. Just like you I had never cared about my body. But 3 years ago I became a Mom and now I at least care about my child's health. Idk what to do man. I feel like I'll incorporate at least Eggs again soon enough, but it's such a hurdle to me. Being vegan has 100% been an ethical choice for me. We have a neighbor who keeps chicken who we're already buying from for my husband, so the ethical hurdle should be gone. But it ain't. 🙃 If anyone has anything helpful to say, please do. This video has been great already, thank you for that! But gosh this is so hard.
If it’s an ethical choice it comes down to, are you willing to sacrifice your health for “saving the animals”? Regenerative farming is amazing, keeping animals in mind + the environment. Traditional methods are sketch, I try to shop local and organic when I can. I was a raw frutarian, didn’t even consume nuts or grains. I deteriorated quickly. I now consume an animal based diet, consisting of eggs, raw milk, meats, bone broth and tropical fruits. For cooking and fats I use tallow and ghee. All these foods contain bioavailable nutrients for our bodies. For example, vitamin D’s precursor is cholesterol. We need animal cholesterol to convert to this important hormone. (Yes vitamin D is actually a hormone!) And don’t worry, dietary cholesterol doesn’t translate to the bad cholesterol in our bodies. Dietary cholesterol is a precursor for so many functions, in our brains and bodies. Ditching plant foods has also healed my thyroid. It’s truly transformative. Whatever choice you choose, I wish you the best ❤
Hope you're doing well. Eating meat is more ethical than farming plants. restoring grasslands and ecosystems is far healthier than destructive industrial farming.
I understand completely why people become vegans, my own vegan period lasted about two years; but no amount of making myself ill can make what’s wrong with the world well. Thanks for the video. I hope that crowds of young people see it and realize that they need to be wary of the propaganda around diet.
It's so sad that it took so much time suffering, pain, lost hours in the bathroom, vomitting, constipation, skin issues, and emotional hurt before coming to a solution. I feel you I suffered with a health issue for years unrecognized and finally got a solution at a late 30s age but suffered so much and I wish I could back in time and fixed it back then.
Great video! I am curious to hear more about the tipping point and how you started eating animal products and what was your first animal based meal like, etc. So happy that you made the transition and found health for the first time in your life.
vegan deterioration reacted to some of your video, i was so engaged i came by to watch the whole thing. it really is sad that people are so wrapped up in the vegan ideology that they ignore their body's warning signs for years or even decades - i'm glad you were able to snap out of it. be well, and thanks for sharing your experience! :)
Good for you - am so happy that you are feeling better. I'm another ex vegan - it nearly killed me. I'd be interested to hear the story of how you finally woke up to needing animal products, what it was like eating them (and meat for the first time in your life) and how your family reacted.
I have a lot of questions and hope you don't mind me asking! I'd love to hear your perspective. As an ex-vegan, what made you decide to go vegan in the first place? How did you decide what you ate? What exactly made you stop? Did you get any blood work done? As an ex-vegan do you still agree with any of the ethical ideas like not using or harming animals for unnecessary things like entertainment (bullfighting, dog fighting, etc) or luxury items (fur fashion)? Even if it were impossibke to reach 100%, do you think society should find more ways to stop harming or using animals as much as it can? Thank you for your time btw.
thank you for sharing your fascinating story with us. I'm sorry you had to learn the lesson in such a traumatic way, and that you had to suffer all of those terrible consequences for yourself and your health. fortunately, you are still young and have plenty of time to right all the wrongs done to you
Your Helping ppl with tour story,i was eating in expeirment fir years,thinking i was eating Healthy,back and forth with diff diets thinking im ingreat health,i started noticing real probs serious ocd,was so bad id grab the back of my head and bang on steal doirs or cement,i dont advuse that lol it really hurt,but im on recovery with a meat diet,tc gal
It is very important that you share your story since I meet everyday new vegans who think they are doing the best diet on earth. It is tragic really, I saw two girls with extreme acne, and stomach pain, one girl had anxiety, other vegans looked all anemic. I had the worst sympthoms when I was a vegetarian, and I was not even vegan. I had constipation, bloating, heart palpitations, anxiety, depression and chronic fatigue. I think the myth of veganism is going to be debunked but there are many mainstream media who promote it still. I still see The Guardian pushing every day for a vegan diet.
@@tinknal6449 You know what standard/traditional Eastern diets have a lot more of? Things other than meat. I don't understand why you thought this said anything...
Interesting story, and you sound like a bright girl. I never was vegan, and the way some of the biggest vegan influencers look today show me why I would not want to be. The ones that claim to be 10-year and 20-year vegans without signs of poor health are, I believe, cheating on their diets off camera. You proved to yourself plant-based is only a temporary catabolic diet used as a tool towards an end (autophagy), not a diet for life. Literally, it's not for life. ☠ I have a question: You were born into a vegetarian family. When you were a kid, was it ever explained to you why you were vegetarians? P.S. I just subscribed, and I hope you do more videos in the future.
Yeah, they told me when I was a kid that “animals are our friends and we don’t eat our friends”. Thank you for subscribing!! Definitely more videos in the future ✨❤️
Welcome to the world of carnivore. My health was also physically and mentally in a terrible state before I went animal based. Lots of issues. I was never vegan but my regular diet sucked. I fell off the wagon on holiday. Ice cream was too much of a magnet to me and I’ve gotten back to cravings because of it and my issues started coming back. After listening to this it reminded me why I went carnivore in the first place. I eat a little fruit and honey in carnivore too. Thanks for the video and much respect and good wishes from Paul and Jane in the U.K.
@@cracked229 You're making things up. You use animal products just like everyone else here. There is no healthy plants only diet for us. Show a study that says otherwise...oh right, there isn't any. We are all omnivores and by definition, that means we thrive on both plants and animals. Why do you use animal products needlessly while only pretending to be against it?
Cleansing diet can not be consumed life long. Too much cleansing can be problem. Many cleansing herbs in India aren't recommended forever especially during pregnancy and for small children. Let wisdom be thy food and choose what path suits you and helps you. Every body can be different but vegan diet is the most deficient of all
The way you described raw veganism the 2nd time is how I feel even trying to be vegetarian. Probably because I have super heavy periods and hemophilia runs in my family. But I tried vegetarianism for a week, raw veganism for literally 24 hours and I felt dead, and was thinking “how can people do this?”
I come from Char’s video on Vegan Deterioration. Many of your symptoms sound like Amber’s on Fairly Local Family. Last I heard, she was still adamantly vegan and made a really distressing video taking about her health being at an all-time low. I truly believe you when you say the last thing you’d have thought to blame was the vegan diet. Seems to be her case as well. It’s just awful that doctors don’t seem to be aware of this life-threatening ideological epidemic.
The vitamin A deficiency i think is the reason dr michael gregers eyesight has been deteriorating and has to wear thiccc glasses with a power of -8.00 or so! Like if his diet was optimal for humans he would not need glasses that powerful to see.
Vitamin K deficiency is what causes the calcium to build up in our arterial wall. Didn't know that. I've always wondered how come we build up calcium in our arteries instead of our bones. Thank you for this info.
girl when i was eating suupperrr clean no processed foors while food plant based my skin was soooooo bad, not im not vegan and dont restrict any kind of foods and it is completely healed from acne
Thank you so much my girl❤️❤️❤️ I hear you, I understand you, I am also ex vegan. Sending love to you, stay balanced, don’t go extreme again, it’s pretty tempting. But you’ve got it girl, heal yourself, live your young life fully.✨✨✨
I'm a little bit on the same boat. I'm thinking of maintaining a plant based diet but also integrating animal products (in the vegetarian range) and some meat once in a while. I've been vegan for 12 years and I've seen everything from internet drama unfolding and tried everything (from being fully raw, to fruitarianism [a short period of time], to a very balanced diet plant based diet etc) and I think I've found my sweet spot (the balanced diet works the most) but I still feel something's missing and I can't really point out what it is. I'll keep try to experiment and incorporate more diverse meals and try to be omnivore. Some vegans in the comment section are not helping at all. (no consideration about your health and scolding right after, like totally not cult like behavior). I also agree on your points on slaughterhouses and mono-crops, both causing different kinds of damage and being destructive. Also I do agree with your acknowledgement of what we know as the suffering that happens in the cycle of life you describe. Your health comes first and keep doing what works best for you.
Happy for you, it looks like you learned quite a bit from being vegan. I only managed 2 years as a vegan (after deciding to be healthy from the standard diet ironically). I went full carnivore and have been for 4 years now but I still don't have many organ meats at all. I try to get good grass fed beef when I can but supermarket meat is the best I can get sometimes. I have recently started making slow cook stews with different bones and have found that these also offer additional health benefits.
20:50 I also suffered the nighttime fear and severe anxiety. I’d wake up hyperventilating and I was taken to er a couple times. Doctors said “it’s all in your head” lol duck then seriously. I wasn’t even vegan, just typical 11 year old eating junk (processed carbs, fruit, whole grains lol) I’m 90% carnivore now, age 37, never been healthier! Perfect regular cycles, perfect skin, lots of energy, no anxiety ever. ❤life is good 😊
Glad your video popped up in my feed! Thanks for making it and telling your story bc there's so much confusion out there about what is the right diet for health. 🥺
Your story was truly compelling and interesting. You made a great point about monocropping also. Another big issue that vegans don’t consider is that a lot of trendy vegan foods like nuts and avocados are water intensive crops that require much more than other plants do. We definitely need to consider the best ways to maximize food and nutrition output through a regenerative system like you said
I was vegan 4-5 years. Your story is very important. I have a friend who was also raised vegetarian, has never eaten meat, and has many health problems, especially mental health. He’s convinced if he were to try meat now, he’d become sick.
In your next video, I hope you can discuss how you finally built up the courage to eat animal products, beyond just informing yourself. I’ll tell my friend about nutrients, and it ends with him saying he doesn’t want to eat it because it’s “gross”. I think he’s in the end stages now. He used to gloat about never taking supplements, never wanting to own an animal as a pet… In the past 2-3 years, he’s flipped big time.
@@hueywade2299 The word "vegan" is the first thing in his social media bios. It's his identity. He says eggs are gross. But eats "Just Egg", Beyond Meats, fake cheeses, everyday. Despite never have eaten meat, he loves fake meat. I tell him there might be something instinctual about it, he gets mad.
@@itoohavedreams then change his bio and don’t give a fuck what anyone thinks. Do what you think is best, regardless of what others think. People are gonna talk shit regardless.
Actually, he probably would. I was vegetarian for 8 years and ate steak. I felt crampy and bloated for 4 days. You lose the enzymes needed to break it down. You have to start slowly. I am now a pescatarian, don't really like dairy, and choose the most cruelty-free eggs. For fish I usually eat shellfish with occasional sustainable fish
Congrats, welcome back to Normality. some of the "popular vegans" are too far gone to save, they would rather suffer insilence and seem holier than thou than get off their diet which is killing them and save themselves. "but but but the fluffy cute cow, meat is murder blah blah" no animal cares about you, most animals would eat you given the chance. but well done for healing.
I've thought about your video for quite some time now. You definitely appear to be suffering from non-celiac gluten sensitivity, so cutting out gluten was probably the right move. But I am wondering why your symptoms continued after you cut out gluten. Someone on Char Omni's channel pointed out that your neck might look a bit enlarged, which *could* (not making a diagnosis here!) point to thyroid enlargement. An enlarged thyroid is usually a consequence of iodine deficiency during childhood and adolescence, a common nutrient deficiency in a vegan diet if not corrected with supplements or specific foods like sea weeds. Thyroid hormone is absolutely essential to a host of processes in the body. I am not exaggerating when I say an underactive thyroid could explain literally all your symptoms that remained after cutting out gluten. Some symptoms you describe like constipation even in the presence of a high-fiber diet are very typical for an underactive thyroid. It would also be expected that all symptoms resolve completely in a matter of weeks after correcting the iodine deficiency, which is exactly what happened when you went on an omnivore diet. Have you ever checked if your thyroid gland is enlarged? An endocrinologist can easily do that with an ultrasound exam. Have you ever checked your thyroid hormone levels during childhood or adolescence? Have you checked for other thyroid conditions like Hashimoto's (TPO/TG antibodies)? That's another possibility for low thyroid function apart from iodine deficiency, but your thyroid would likely not be enlarged and it wouldn't resolve so easily with a higher iodine intake. Whatever you choose to do diet-wise, it would be worthwhile to have your thyroid checked in any case, because if you have an enlarged thyroid due to iodine deficiency during childhood and adolescence, that is likely to cause health problems later in life like a benign goiter, hot (hormon-producing) nodules, cold (non-hormone producing) nodules that are a risk factor for thyroid cancer, autoimmune thyroid conditions or autonomous (non-TSH-regulated) thyroid tissue that might at some point lead to an overactive thyroid. I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
I have never had my thyroid checked but no one in my life has ever made a comment about my neck. I think it appears bigger here because my posture is horrible and the position I was seated in, I was hunching over and pushing my neck out.
@@Princessoftradition I wouldn't say your neck looks out of the ordinary, but did you use iodized salt or foods or supplements specifically fortified with iodine when you were vegan? If you used none of those, you almost certainly had iodine deficiency on a strict vegan diet. An endocrinologist could establish if your thyroid is in fact enlarged. This can happen in the case of longer periods of iodine deficiency early in life. It's a simple ultrasound examination. Only in cases of a strong enlargement that would be discernible just by looking at the neck. In less severe cases, it has to be ascertained by a specialist. If it is, your thyroid should be monitored regularly as it can lead to complications over time.
@@Princessoftradition As someone who has had thyroid issues for almost all my life including thyroidectomy, I can seriously tell you: Iodine deficiency alone can possibly explain all the symptoms that remained after cutting out gluten.
I'm really glad to hear you've found a diet that brings health to you. Nutrition is still such a young science and I think we're going to learn in the future how individual our nutrition needs are and I think some people are going to thrive on a vegan diet and some people are going to really suffer and we just need to listen to our bodies and know what's best (nb, not vegan myself; I believe veganism can be a healthy diet based on the research that's been done, but it's not the end all and be all of healthy diets either). I would just humbly suggest that historically you haven't gotten your nutrition information from the best sources (dw, we all went through a freelee phase, haha) but you may not still be getting your information from the best sources, judging from what you said about seed oils for example. There's lots and lots of voices all over the internet telling us what we should and shouldn't eat and what 'real' health is, but try to go for sources that are well-researched, such as Harvard Health (for example). Wishing you all the best on your health journey.
The research is epidemological. It can only generate hypotheses about what lifestyle factors might lead to what health outcomes ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WbNDrcoRi8g.html
"suffering from veganism" that shit made me full hearted laugh. on a real note though.. whilst i understand that you have suffered... i do not appreciate the blaming of veganism instead of dangerous plant based diets that have more an interest of being elitist and 'raw' rather than safe and juist a normal lifestyle that a lot of people partake in. obviously i am biased, as are you. but veganism has been the only thing to help me and my health issues. meat eating fucked up my stomach, my emotions were always all over the place (i was angry and annoyed all the time), and i was also tired and lethargic all of the time. wasnt till i went veggie, then vegan, did i realize how much i was suffering. was veggie for a year and since then ive been vegan now 6 years and im not going back. its because i didnt force myself to eat "healthier" and raw, i simply took the stuff i was already eating and made it vegan. veganism worked for me bc of my love for the earth, animals, and because i made it work for me instead of forcing myself to eat in such a way that felt unnatural to me. you ditching being plant based is all well and fine for you but to make such broad claims about veganism in general, such as you have in this video, is rather... well to put it in simple terms, ridiculous. i wont go into other claims you made about the environment and such, mainly because i wish not to be mean and that part did make me genuinely upset. but all in all, whilst i wish you well, i dont believe this video holds much truth outside of your own personal experiences
