that was as polite as i could put it.
for a while now, i've been having bowel movements that are very soft, yellowy and a feeling of almost butterflies in my stomach. i can only attribute it to my diet - i'm working some odd hours and not really eating as well as i could be.
i get a free meal at work, but as they don't really cater for vegans, i usually end up with houmous and a salad. i've been trying to eat at home to boost my nutritional intake, but i've ended up relying on soya milk for things like calcium and copious amounts of marmite for b12 (of which i have a slightly unnatural paranoia about getting a deficiency in) and dried apricots and nuts and seeds as snacks (although possibly not enough).
i can't possibly be getting everything i need, and from today, have decided i must start making a proper effort again. however, what i wanted to ask the knowledgable people on here is whether they think the state of my bowels might be in response to a specific deficiency and so whether i need to eat more os something specific to remedy this.
i recently had a massive argument with my mother who has just discovered my veganism (had a job telling her and had hidden it...not good) who was worried about my health, and after reassuring her that i was fine, now i'm starting to wonder whether i'm not.
