AEB Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I started the Whole 30 on Saturday, April 21. Since Monday night, have been having some stomach issues. It started with cramping, but then things started....moving. I know this is a cleanse, so maybe I just had so much junk in me and it is trying to get out! Did this happen to anyone else? Everytime I put something in my mouth, something else....passes. Thoughts?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted April 26, 2012 Moderators Share Posted April 26, 2012 Stopping grains and adding lots of vegetables can have a big impact on your gut flora. It sounds like the ocean of bacteria in your stomach is in the midst of a storm. That happens to lots of us and after a while, the storm will pass and you will experience less... excitement.

Fieldhockeymom4 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I am on Day 27 and I am still having awful stomach trouble- Cramping, and visiting the bathroom alot! And the gas is unbearable- i was NOT a gassy person before w30 and since I started I have become super gassy! It's been the worst part of this- its sooo embarrassing! I have followed the program as directed and I am wondering if I need to continue past day 30? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fieldhockeymom4 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I ate pretty healthy before w30- lots of veggies- I am vegetarian and have started on this w30 adventure to slay my sugar dragon!! I was a slave to my sugar cravings! The good news is that my cravings have decreased in an amazing way- I do indulge in fruit a couple times a day and for me that is a huge improvement! I was eating chocolate cookies beforehand! . But the stomach issues are almost too much for me to handle- I love this lifestyle but am considering bagging it because I can't get my stomach under control! How could I feel so gross still on day27?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrstrudo Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I'm having a similar problem. Lots of *ahem* bathroom trips. Now, I've always had a bit of IBS, but it seems to have jumped into overdrive lately. I'm hoping it's just the junk working its way out of my system as my gut heals. I also know that coffee irritates my "system" yet here I am still drinking it. I hope this passes soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLazyCaveman Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 For those of you experiencing stomach issues, please take some time to read this article I wrote recently about digestive issues. Lots of good info in there: http://www.thelazycaveman.com/when-paleo-isnt-enough-part-i/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaLee Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 My husband is having the opposite problem, which is making him feel bloated, fat, and generally uncomfortable. Any relatively simple advice? He is on the road a lot and doesn't like complicated meals...and don't even talk to me about trying to get him to a doctor, LOL! I told him it may be part of the detox process. I had a really bad headache today myself and have felt lightheaded, and it's just the first day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllieBellie Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Linda, I had a huge improvement in this area after adding sauerkraut to my breakfast and lunch. I hear that fermented veggies are good for, ahem, easier digestion! And I concur with you, if he's still in the first week or so there is a lot of adjustment that happens within the gut as part of the detox!
