Large stools don't cause gut damage. Where's your evidence for that? Large, fibrous stools are easier for your bowels to push, and reduce strain on your gut and therefore reduce gut damage. The stomach can expand to many times its original size. Whole plant foods contain water, reducing dehydration and hydrating the bowels during digestion.
Animal products contain no fibre, causing your bowels to do more work and thus increase the likelihood of bowel diseases. Whole plant foods are not 'difficult' to digest, they are slower to digest, thus providing your gut flora with a much healthier environment to proliferate and persist. Slower digestion also reduces strain on our organs, which can have difficulty coping with concentrated nutrient intake.
Furthermore the gut flora that help with digestion of plant foods will become more abundant, and the ones that break down animal proteins (you yourself are an animal, and those animal-protein eating bacteria live inside you) less abundant.
All the plant food vegans typically choose to replace meat with are much cheaper than meat around the world. How are beans more expensive than steak? Such an argument is truly absurd. I save money by being vegan and never go hungry.
Do your own research on why large stools are a sign of gut damage because it's a well documented fact. So is the fact that grains and beans are difficult to digest and can cause gut damage. I personally know people who can't eat popcorn because the outer shell causes tiny tears all through their guts. By the way, I was talking specifically about grains, beans and nuts not "whole plant foods," so you went off at a tangent. Every healthy meat-eater makes a habit of enjoying their fruit and veg.
Much of what you say is true but irrelevant to the issue of gut damage. Everything needs to be in balance, including the amount of fibre consumed; too much is as bad as too little.
If you used the daily recommended amounts of all vitamins and minerals, as guidance, to calculate the food an average size person would need to eat as a healthy vegan, there would be more food than you could physically eat, unless you juiced a good deal of it to remove the fibrous bulk, or are willing to eat and shit all day like a typical herbivore.
So, when you went off on explaining why fibre is so beneficial, you completely missed the point, although, I will concede that I didn't explain it fully. You also missed the point that a healthy vegan diet is expensive, not the poor diet that the average vegan eats , which fills them up with bulk, but more often than not leads to leaky gut syndrome.
And, btw, if you make assumptions about what someone is saying, in lieu of asking for clarification, and your limited information leads you to the absurd, the fact that you walk away feeling satisfied says much about you.
