I used to have really bad ibs but haven’t had a flare up since going vegan, however since coming back off holiday two weeks ago (where i overindulged a wee bit) my tummy has been really bad.
I feel like my food isn’t digesting in my stomach and it’s only taking a few bites of food for me to feel full. I feel really bloated and gassy too.

My typical day of food is

Breakfast - peanut butter on toast
Snack - banana

Lunch- tofu and wholewheat noodle soup with sweet corn, spinach and the juice of a lemon

Dinner- chickpea stew with tomatoes, peppers, corgette and aubergine

Evening snack - popcorn and chocolate

I have about two cups of tea with soya milk too.

I do often have a slice of cake too.

Anyone got any advice?

There's a Vegan magazine with great recipes and suggestions and books too.

Shouldn't you have a light period with the coil?

That;s good! Oh and I ALWAYS buy organic food where possible, they do low treatment, unsprayed in some supermarkets too.
