Constipation
I recently switched to a vegan diet, and I'm eating lots of fiber rich foods. However, I'm experiencing the worst constipation ever. Every time I go, it's really hard and like little rocks. My hair has been falling out too. I always make sure to eat foods with protein and iron, so I don't know why this would be happening. I also take a B12 pill.
