RE: How I became Vegan and How YOU can do it TOO!
Very awesome post! I would advice you to note how you feel after eating garlic. The more garlic the more obvious its toxic properties will be made obvious.
Garlic is considered to be toxic. This is mostly due to its sulphone hydroxyl ion component of garlic, which is capable of penetrating the blood-brain barrier, and is toxic to brain cells. Garlic is also highly toxic to dogs and cats and can fatally poison animals. In Ayurvedic medicine, the oldest form of medicine, garlic is not recommended for any substantial treatments.
My personal experience confirm those toxic properties of garlic.

Thanks for reading it! I will definitely have to observe how I feel after garlic. I have always been curious as to why people with digestive issues cut out things like garlic and onion but have yet to research it myself.
Have you cut it out completely or is it more in moderation?
I really avoid it in everything I buy. Sometimes there will be some in some chips or hummus but that's pretty much it. Eating some can easily make falling asleep almost impossible for many hours and if I do fall asleep from exhaustion it can seriously hamper restfulness.
When going to eat to some places I specify that I don't eat garlic.
Ah that's exactly how it affects my partner's father who has digestive issues. So interesting to know! I'm definitely intrigued. I wonder if it has anything to do with gut health and acidity levels? Going to look into this one!
