I also feel that this is a rare issue since most advice is to eat the food that I already eat. It really feels like it's lack of probiotics to digest the fibre that's the issue. I only use organic products for hair/skin etc, don't swim in chlorine pools. Right now I'm in University. I used to be on Zoloft for about 3 years, which I also quit when going vegan, when I went vegan I also quit birth control pills and I haven't been on antibiotics for a while. I guess I could eat more of the probiotic supplements and I just passed by information on soluble and insoluble dietery fiber. But it's really frustrating because it doesn't feel like there is much else I can do. I agree with doctors, also out of experience they never have a solution anyway and have no interest in finding what's causing the issue and will probably just prescribe me something.

I've been postponing trying to find an answer but it's getting on my nerves and thought that maybe I could start out here, I wasn't sure which category I should write in. When I switched diet from a typical western diet about a year ago to a plant-based whole foods diet I started having issues with bowel movements which also lead to my acne getting worse (instead of the other way around) and I was hoping that maybe someone had the same experience with a solution. I eat mostly potatos, quinoa, rice, beans, lentils, vegetables, fruit, berries, nuts, seeds etc. No soy, no wheat, a minimal of processed food and I try and get as much organic as possible. I had a temporary solution for the past 3 months which was taking bacteria (since I've stupidly enough been on antibiotics for acne etc before and probably killed every healthy bacteria I had in my bowels) and it helped a lot but now I have the same issue again. It feels like I'm drinking enough water but that might not be the case, how much water should I be drinking? Some days when I really think about getting liters still nothing happens and it's really becoming an issue and I have no interest of turning no-vegan. I'm well aware of prune-juice but that's mostly painful and really not a solution to the problem. Is there anyone who has any idea? I would be most greatful.
