A vegan diet is a bit unnatural. And thus requires attention and education in nutrition and gut microbes and such.
You can get pretty sick if you aren’t doing it right.
A lot of people wanting to jump into vegan and even vegetarian don’t take the time to learn that there are some foods you absolutely need in order to counter the loss from animal products.
Also I’ve had friends get sick as vegans from issues with gut microbes imbalance and it was fixed by dairy (yogurt). So they just went vegetarian and bought dairy from more ethical sources.
