Dril post where you list all the reasons your body feels like shit and ask how to not feel like shit. I'm the commentator telling you, "stop drinking two bottle of robitussin to trip"

meat is such an unreplaceable source of easily digestible nutrients

Are you being serious right now? This isn't true, like, at all.

On the off chance this is true and not just an antivegan bait post, I'll give you two pieces of advice: if you're hungry all the time, eat more. If your poops aren't solid, eat more fiber. Beans, tofu, whole grains, they're all your friends.

Oh, and take B12 if you're not already. It's the one nutrient that's harder to get as a vegan than a carnist, because the animals carnists eat have been supplemented with B12, and some of it is still present in their dead flesh

do not robotrip, do not listen to what the robo tells you, do not judge your feeling like shit as caused by anything until you stop robotripping and prove that that isn't why you feel like shit.

If you make the choice to eat meat, I trust that you have the tools to make that choice soundly, it's impossible to have zero unhealthy consumption habits and you have to do what you have to do to stay sane under capitalism. Just don't use fucking Robotussin as your spirit guide on this.

I know the problem.

You're browsing Reddit. Stop that. Its well know Reddit causes watery shits.

Lay off the drugs mate.

and my poops are never solid

I tried psyllium husk/metamucil recently and I might stick with it. clean pinch every time is that tempting

Also not going to reddit to look at it but the stopeatingseedoils people are, I think, adjacent to some "functional medicine" scam BS that's taken one of my family members in so idk... Maybe there's some truth to it but lets just say I'm skeptical.

I will say, and this comes from someone who isn't even vegan (well, I guess you could argue I'm just a very bad inconsistent vegan, I do try): If you wouldn't kill the animal and prepare it yourself, but you are willing to just not think about it and let the even-more-horrifying meat industry slaughterhouses and processing plants do it for you with child labor, you're being a coward and should endeavor to have the courage of your convictions. You may need to adjust what you are eating to get more nutrients, but its definitely untrue that you can't get them without meat

Your poops are never solid? Weird. I just clog the toilet.

Don't torture yourself. If you're feeling worse and think having meat in your diet will help, then it's fine. And it's not all or nothing, you can have meat for just a few meals a week if you want. Or hell if just having a steak every couple months is enough to help, go for it.

If you haven't been eating other animal products either, those could help too. Eggs are a great protein source and pretty versatile. Cheese (and milk products in general) is just plain delicious. Scrambled eggs with cheese is a very common breakfast for a reason.

Whey, egg, or soy protein powder once a day can help with energy problems.

Psyllium husk supplement pills or metamucil can add fiber to your diet and make poops less frequent.

Hardliners will deny this, but limiting meat to once or twice a week is actually pretty helpful for the environment and for sustainability.

But like, is there nothing better/safer available than cough syrup? Not judging, but is the juice worth the squeeze?

How do you feel about bivalves like clams? While there is some evidence they respond to noxious stimuli they don't possess a brain and just have a centralized nervous system.

r/stopeatingseedoils is sorta bullshit. wrt r/exvegans, I've known some ex-vegans and there are all kinds of reasons somebody goes off a vegan diet, but if somebody goes off the vegan diet and decides to start preaching how veganism is bad for you and nobody should be vegan I'd consider them sus.

I'm not a vegan btw, although I don't eat a lot of meat. I'd think it's highly unlikely oil is causing your problem unless you're like guzzling it down or something. If oil is in fact causing your issues this is something a doctor can help you figure out, it's not due to the weird pseudoscience that r/stopeatingseedoils ascribes to.

If you're hungry all the time you're not eating enough. Track your calories, make sure you're getting enough calories throughout the day. Many people think they're eating enough when in fact they're not - this was the case with me for a while (and still is tbh).

my poops are never solid and I get tired sooner than I think I should

how long has this been going on? Sometimes your body just gets out of whack for whatever reason. Stress consistently fucks up my digestive system, and then when my stress and anxiety begin to recede I tend to get extremely gassy. The human body is imperfect, and we're not doing it any favors under capitalism. Sometimes your body is just weird. Tiredness and fatigue? Sometimes that just happens. Depression puts me in that state of course. And I can always feel when a storm is coming on because I get a really specific type of deep fatigue that recedes once the storm passes.

But if this has been going on for a while? See a doctor, that's the best advice. You can start eating meat also which it seems like you want to do, but I don't think that's causing any of your issues. Maybe you're just low in certain nutrients as you hint at? Which you can just take a multivitamin for, which would honestly be a more surefire way to get enough nutrients than eating meat.

Is robotripping even good? r/DXM makes it sound so horrible lol

I thought about trying it but even ingesting it sounds quite unpleasant. First you have to make sure there's nothing else mixed in, like Tylenol, so it doesn't kill your liver. Then, having to swallow tons of pills or chug an entire bottle of cough syrup? I think I would probably just vomit.

Are you really really sure the drug isn't affecting your gut? 👀

Wait so is it not normal to feel a fart develop deep in your gut and then slowly and painfully percolate it's way to the sphincter 30 times a day
