PamelaJ Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I have had a rough start - only on day three, but terrible tummy problems. Anyway, I ate a lot of lovely little wild tomatoes yesterday with rocket, avocado, and tuna mayonnaise (homemade) with celery...I wondered if that was just the imbalance of fat/protein to veg and whether the tomatoes and rocket were enough -- or maybe tomatoes counted as a fruit (which they technically are) or a veg. Or maybe it is just getting used to a new diet. Feeling very poorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Hi PamelaThe composition of your meal sounds fine, although both avocado & celery can be problematic for some folk. Only you know if you ate enough - did it tide you over for 4-5hrs?I'd wonder what else you ate yesterday, and on previous days, to see if there is a pattern around the tummy problems? If you could let us know what else you have eaten that might be helpful in troubleshooting.Tomatoes count as a vegetable for Whole30 purposes.

katieblue Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I was actually wondering this myself! Also, what about plantains? Are they veggies, too? Pamela, I hope you feel better soon!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannlib Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Tomatoes, especially raw ones, give me horrible stomach pains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen_Suep Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Tomatoes and other nightshades can cause issues (nightshades = tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, peppers and chilies, etc) For some, an excess of raw veggies can cause issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
