Jmumford Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Good morning, My husband and I are on day 5 of the Whole30. Since day 2 we both have been having diarrhea and today we both had a stomach ache in the morning. I have been reading a bit about FODMAPS and think that may be the source, but thought I would post here to see if it may be something else. I am also having problems adding enough fats to my meals, my husband has been adding avocado and I don't really care for it, so ideas for adding fat would be helpful as well. Our last few days of meals are as follows: Tuesday B - 3-4 fried eggs, carrots, cashews for me & 1/2 avocado for him L - Steak, celery with cashew butter D - Turkey, carrots & potatoes made in crockpot in chicken broth Wednesday B - 3-4 fried eggs, carrots, cashews for me & 1/2 avocado for him L - Turkey, carrots & potatoes made in crockpot in chicken broth D - Chicken stir fry with snap peas, carrots, broccoli, spinach and sprouts made with clarified butter & olive oil dressing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted February 4, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 4, 2016 Sorry you're having some stomach issues. Your meals look pretty good -- though you don't specify how much turkey, steak, chicken you are eating. Is it at least your palm-size? Initial thoughts: Get rid of the cashews. Nuts are notoriously difficult on the stomach. Take a break for a few days then try adding it back once a day at most and see how you feel. Eat only cooked veggies and avoid raw for a few days. Cooked veggies are easier on the stomach. Other fat source ideas: More fat in the pan you're cooking in - just scrape the excess out over your eggs Drizzle soup with additional olive oil Add ghee or coconut oil to a baked sweet or white potato a big handful of olives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berrybird Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Homemade mayo is another great fat source And if like me you're not a huge fan of mayo, try mixing it with hot sauce or garlic or ginger or some other strong flavoring element to make aioli, and then use it as a dipping sauce for meat, or thin it out a bit and drizzle it over eggs or cooked veggies.

praxisproject Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 This is also a good trick if you're not a big fan of a new mayo variation. Throw in a lot of garlic or Frank's Hot Sauce and you might not taste the base mayo anymore Some variations are also more appealing to different people. I don't much like ACV in my mayo, I like lemon and/or lime juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
