Can vouch for the them slowing down your bowels - not sure about the rest (but definitely the height of processed food) - but recall being told by our instructors that that they were purposely designed that way as the last thing you wanted was bouts of diarrhea in the field

Yeah our DI's said the same, but then again half of what they said was BS, so I wouldn't take that at face value.

Due to my MOS, I would go fully on then fully off MREs regularly, so I got pretty familiar with the effects, especially since it was always done "cold turkey", with no transition period or A-rats.
