I was thinking about going vegan myself but decided to just eliminate certain things like red meat, salt(instead i use sea salt, supposed to be better or something) eliminated grease like vegetable oil, i use olive oil instead i eat baked chips like pringles or cheeze it instead of regular chips. It all depends on how u feel when u eat. Make a diary of which foods make u swell ot upset your stomach and try to go from there

I've done a bunch of diet changes and after a while even vegetables (certain ones like broccoli and cabbage) started to bother my stomach. I did eliminate all common allergen foods like soy, peanuts, dairy/milk, eggs, shellfish, tomatoes/nightshades, gluten, and grains/corn. I also eliminated spices and red meat (because they heat up the body), but am not entirely vegan because I do feel better when I eat salmon and occasional turkey or chicken breast. Vegetables that I've been okay with are sweet potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, lettuce, and celery. I keep fruit to a minimum because of the sugars, and only eat non-citrus fruits like apples, peaches, blueberries, and sometimes raspberries.
