chezjulie Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 Woke up to some serious tummy gas. It might have been due to the reintroduction of legumes. Or it could have been a response to overeating yesterday, or to specific foods like plantain chips and broccoli slaw. I have also been having some bloating lately, so it could be related to that. Hard to say! As described in ISWF: Because some of the short-chain carbohydrates (sugars) found in legumes aren’t properly absorbed in the small intestine, they can then act as food for bacteria living in both the small and large intestines. The bacteria then “ferment” (digest) these carbohydrates (called galactans), which can create many unpleasant symptoms, including gas and bloating. I might do a legumes day again at the end of reintroductions to see if I get similar results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chezjulie Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 NON-GLUTEN GRAINS D3M1 Hot Italian Sausage w/mustard, egg, sauerkraut, (gluten free) oatmeal w/strawberries & coconut milk, coffee w/coconut milk D3M2 pot roast (w/potatoes, carrots, onions, celery) D3M3 2 yellowtail sushi, 2 shrimp sushi, California roll w/wasabi & coconut aminos, 1/2 serving of (gluten free) oatmeal w/strawberries & coconut milk, Gingerberry Kombucha Food: I enjoyed eating oatmeal and sushi for a change, but it definitely "pushed vegetables off my plate," as they say. Function: Felt annoyingly gassy on the way to the sushi restaurant, and momentarily nauseous after. But I kind of feel like I have more gassiness in general when I'm doing a Whole30. I have no idea why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chezjulie Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 D5M1 lemon turkey (ground), pumpkin, sugar snap peas, 2/3 large Honeycrisp apple w/almond butter, coffee w/coconut milk D5M2 lemon turkey (ground), pumpkin, sugar snap peas, 1/3 large Honeycrisp apple D5M3 chopped turkey breast, baked potato, BBQ sauce, broccoli slaw w/EVOO & bv Food: Didn't realize I ate turkey for every meal today! It wasn't my intention to have a starch with every meal either, but around suppertime I got a yen to pick up some local barbecue, and a plain potato is the only vegetable that's even close to compliant. I added a few handfuls of broccoli slaw to give my meal some green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WholeMama623 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Congrats on another Whole30!!! and 4.5 lbs is better than nothing at all! I'm going to do another Whole100 starting January 1st. I know I shouldn't put it off, but this time of year is just too hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezjulie Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 I'm planning to do another one in January, too. Might as well do it while the rest of the world is working on their New Year's Resolutions! I agree that the holiday season would be really hard, although I do hope to select particular days and events at which I want to enjoy special foods, and not just treat Thanksgiving through New Year's as a competitive eating event! I am doing fine with eating right now - just too busy and tired to manage posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WholeMama623 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I might start earlier now. I am on a bad road with food. Grrrr. Why is it so hard to stay on track?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WholeMama623 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Hey Julie, wondering how you are doing? I've been gone for awhile, but I'm back now. Starting a Whole100 tomorrow. I cannot let myself de-rail any longer! Hope you doing well!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezjulie Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 I definitely got off track between November 8th and today (December 1st) due to some medication issues and just falling into old habits. So about 3 weeks of not-so-Whole30-ish eating. I am planning to start tracking again, because I always do better when I'm tracking. Here are my other considerations: I'm having a check-up and blood work in a couple of weeks, and I want it to go okay. I will be eating some special holiday treats at parties and actual holiday days like Christmas, so I want to be on track the rest of the time. It shouldn't be that difficult as I'm going to keep some foods like oatmeal, beans, and milk in my diet. I have also started going to weekly yoga class again, which I think will be good for my overall health. I love my yoga teacher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chezjulie Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 Hi, Britt! I ended up feeling rotten for much of November/December due to some health and medication issues, and the healthy eating was just not happening. I'm starting to feel better now, and I was just thinking today that I want to get back to eating right the weekend after Christmas. (To me, that would be eating mostly Whole30 structured meals, but allowing milk in my coffee for convenience, and occasional oatmeal or beans). I plan to start my next Whole30 in mid-January after I get back from a business trip to Boston. (I just don't want to do the business trip Whole30 thing again!) Thanks for checking on me.
