krissylynn Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Hello there! First of all, I am very, very new to this whole foods eating program. I am typically a healthy eater, or so I thought! until my good friend introduced me to Whole9 and now I am truly inspired! I am on day 12 of Whole30...is it typical for my stomach to be "speaking l LOT to me during and after I eat my meals, including cramping and bloating? I am also finding that I am having more "movements" that usual. Is this just a part of the cleansing process? Thank you in advance for your help! Link to comment
angifi Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 krissylyn, I think this is quite a common problem on the whole30, and it may be that our bodies are adjusting to a better way, ot that the high number of vegetables may take some getting used to. I also have heard it can be due to intestinal bacteria dying off. I just had a look around the forum and there were a few similar threads. One suggestion was to take digestive enzymes. I hope you feel better soon. Link to comment
Missy Olsen Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Hi, I am on day 5 and I am having these same issues, so I am glad it's normal. I currently take a Probiotic, but my stomach still seems to have issues, mostly after dinner. Link to comment
Shira Selkovits Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I'm currently on day 13 of Whole30 and I'm having some issues with constipation. This has been going on for about 2 days now. The first 11 days I was pleased to see a huge improvement in #2 and now I'm getting concerned. I'm used to several movements per day and now I have gone a day and a half with nothing at all. Do you recommend a supplement? What do you think could have happened? Link to comment

Do you recommend a supplement? What do you think could have happened? I had this trouble until I started supplementing with Magnesium. Also it could be that you're eating too much meat/protein and not enough veggies? It happens to me if I'm off balance in that way. Link to comment
Shira Selkovits Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Thank you so much for the reply - I'm definitely going to up my veggie intake and I will try Magnesium as well. Thanks again! Link to comment
