I have only been vegan 72 hours now, and I have been getting tons of foul smelling gas (sulfer)! I'm not trying to offend anyone, but it's the truth. I do a vitacheck and make sure I'm getting all my vitamins and iron, protien, so I know I'm not lacking anything. I usually eat a lot of veggies anyways, so that's not abnormal. Could it be the increased use of soy (milk, ice cream, etc...)? Or could it just be my body's way of cleaning itself out? Thanks you all!

when one begins eating whole organic foods the bodies immune system starts to kick in and filter the toxins out of the body by means of waste, sweat, skin, and gas. So your body is begining to detoxify its self.
be warned you will expierence stomach aches for a couple of days as your body is filtering ( its a good sign)

It's part of the detox process. Every once in awhile when I eat cheese or milk chocolate (the only things preventing me from being a vegan) I ger really bad gas the next day.

Your intestinal flora are adjusting-it should ease up in a week or so. You could try choosing lower fiber foods over higher fiber ones, then gradually increase fiber intake.

Yes your body would cleanse after giving up milk, eggs, etc...

Your body is probably still adjusting.
