Can someone explain fiber for me? I see guides recommending it heavily and then other saying to limit it 1-2 days before bottoming as it leads to gas. I’ve been vegan for years. My biggest worry is being gasy and ruining it. I know dieting around sex is controversial, but I genuinely don’t seek judgement, I get enough from homophobes as is. So, what’d you recommend to avoid gas? 😭

    Gas tends to happen when you drastically increase the amount of certain foods in your diet but it doesn’t last forever. Once your gut biome adjusts, you tend to get less gas. I got to a point where I started eating a lot more vegetables and leafy greens. I also started adding apple cider vinegar to my drink every meal and eating more beans. I was very gassy for a few weeks until my gut adjusted. Now I almost never get gas. If you want good sex, I recommend eating a healthy diet that is low in dairy and keeping to it for the long term. Probiotics and prebiotics will help food digest better and not be so messy coming out. I would also recommend investing in a bidet.
