youre welcome 
im glad that you asked me those questions! i find that i have BMs when i take my acacia and psyllium every day. there were a few days in europe i went without one or the other and that was when i did have a little trouble.
i wouldnt say that ive abandan eating white-bread foods, i just dont eat them very often. when i go to whole foods, i get really excited about all the healthy things they have to eat. i used to be really reserved about my diet but since becoming a vegan, im choosing to be healthy and eating what i want. with vegan and organic food, you never have to worry if something is safe/unsafe. the word safe shouldnt mean whether or not a food will upset you. it should mean literally, whether or not a food is safe to eat [ie: no presservatives or chemicals or bovine growth hormones] i guess ive kind of kicked aside the boundries i built on food. while on vacation i let myself have more of the foods i stayed away from, and more of them then i would usually take. i was eating hummus made from fresh chick peas and fresh olive oil. and i ate peaches and pears and little plums and all with skins!! even in amsterdam i had falafels [middleastern dish] and vegan brownies and salad!! it rocked. but europe does differently with their farming. and i dont think theyve gotten to the level america has with its food preservation. but seriously--everything that goes in, comes out.
i found also that i was naturally very busy. i didnt have time to worry if i was staying inside of my diet plan. if you eat everything fresh from the earth, its guarenteed safe. of course you should do whatever approach you feel is comfortable, seeing as how this IS america and not the meditaranian!! obviously everything cant be fresh 24/7--but if you live near whole foods, go there and shop around for your usual foods, but try to find zestier versions, or more savory, or more fruitful and tasty. its much more easier to eat when you make your own shopping list  ciao!
