Since I started mainly eating vegan diet (my partner is vegan so we eat so at home) my digestive functions are functioning a lot happier. :)

Same here. I first went vegetarian for 10+ years, still eating lots of dairy. When I made the step to "when possible not burden animals with my behavior" I noticed my digestion improved, my random all-year-round running noses disappeared and my skin cleared up significantly.
I was vegan for three years and vegetarian for 15. My cholesterol kept rising in my gut was horrible.

I do not eat beef, but I do eat venison and bison but mostly seafood. I feel much better now.

Wonder what you ate at those times. That doesn’t sound like something that should happen.
I can assure you it was not junk food vegan. All whole foods and balanced. After I obtained my genome I realized that I need more long chain Omega 3 in my diet because of my FADS1 genetic profile. You do not get that from plant based foods. It was also revealed that my Finnish heritage probably has some Inuit genetics.
