Is it normal to poop a lot when you go vegan?

[Anonymous]

Currently I'm staying at my aunt's place, and she is a vegan. I'm not vegan but I will have to stay away from eating meat and dairy products for a while. Ever since I came here I've been pooping a lot everyday. I don't know if it's healthy or not but I go to toilet at least 2-3 times a day and each time I go I shit like crazy. To be honest my stomach feels good every time I take a dump, but I'm afraid if this is normal.

Yes, I have a 55 year old Turkish friend who was staying with her son for a week and he is a vegan. She ate just like he does and it caused her to have more regular and frequent bowel movements. Well she was doubled over in pain and thinking it was from eating vegan. Nope, she went to the ER and there is where she was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer.

It's normal and it has happened to me every time I went on a vegan diet.

You are doing great in that department. Nothing to worry about.

Yeah because you’re eating more fiber though it could depend on what kinds of vegan food (Oreos or quinoa for example)

Yep, same thing happened to. Now you're got a lot of fiber in your diet.

The vegan diet is cleaning your insides
