Yeah so I’ve been trying to go vegan all year and I’m pretty proud that I’m for all intents and purposes fully vegan at this point. Except I’ve been dealing with some stomach issues this past week or so, and unfortunately many of my go to stomachache recipes use chicken: plain chicken and rice, chicken soup, chicken broth, etc.
I’m wondering what, as vegans, you all eat when you’re dealing with stomach issues. I can generally stomach oatmeal, although not too much of it, and plain white bread, again not too much. Bananas are always a go to for me also. But I’m unsure of what else to eat - beans are out, I feel like most nuts are out? What do you all eat when dealing with stomach issues?
when i’m fucked up, my ‘tummy stabiliser’ is:
if i’m super fucked up (by my IBS), i also take some simeticone and loperamide with my stabiliser.
my recovery meals consist of things like: pedialyte, soymilk, vegetable/mushroom broth, tofu, rice, soysauce, applesauce, oatmeal, mashed potatoes, coconut yoghurt, saltines, graham crackers, spinach, nutritional yeast, and more toast.
is tofu easier on your stomach than beans in general?
it seems to be, yeah. i think it’s about how it’s prepared. tempeh, edamame or any ‘raw’ beans are a no-go if i’m unstable, but tofu’s been fine (and soya mince is okay, in moderation).
