There was a month or two of being bloated, then things went back to before.

My hunch is my gut had to adjust, or maybe the bacteria in it. I think problems people have is with the transition between eating habits, not the final situation.

I noticed you did not include any meat in your description. Do you find health reasons to avoid it for you or are you vegan?

I haven't eaten meat since 1990. I don't completely rule out non-meat animal products. I have something like 100 grams of cheese per year.

Health is a side effect for my eating habits. Deliciousness is by far the biggest reason, followed by convenience, lower cost, getting to eat more, less pollution, and health.

I just love eating delicious foods. I've come to find taking out the fiber leaves things too sweet. Fruit became incredibly sweet after I got used to it and I love eating it. Now vegetables are tasting sweet. I didn't intend or expect to experience this change in tastes, but I'm glad it did.
