Does A Vegan Diet Cause Diarrhea?

Hello. Just today I started having some diarrhea but the last couple times I ve gone to the bathroom, I wipe and there is a yellow mucus. I have just switched over to a Vegan diet and I was wondering if that could be the cause of this, the new things I m eating, I also found it could be cancer in the digestive system . Should I see the doctor if this continues?

hi, if there is a change in eating habits than it could also be due to change . try to observe it for some days, if its worsening or is associated with weight loss and becomes painful than do consult a doctor.
