macyholtz Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 For the past couple of weeks now I have had serious bloating and fatigue. It's even worse right after I eat. Would anyone recommend a supplement for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 A probiotic or digestive enzyme may well work, but I'd look at what you're eating first to see if that might the issue before going down the supplement route.Can you list a few days worth of your food/liquid intake, along with sleep/stress/activity levels & we can maybe help you troubleshoot?

macyholtz Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 my breakfast is usually three eggs, handful of spinach, half and avocado and banana. lunch is chicken breast, cashews, carrots and an orange. dinner is salmon, broccoli, coconut oil. my work outs have been running, usually two miles, or 45 minutes of weight lifting.

macyholtz Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 if im taking a probiotic do i need a digestive enzyme as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 If you're having cashews daily then that could well be your problem - nuts are notoriously hard on the digestive system and should be eaten in moderation - say a closed handful every other day.The avocado and broccoli again, if eaten daily, can be problematic for some, particularly if the broccoli is raw.It's hard to tell from your description but your meals look a little light to me.I'd look at cutting back on the broccoli, switching the nuts for a superior (& more easily digested) fat source - have you tried home-made mayo? - and see how you go from there.You could also look at adding in a probiotic in the form of fermented foods like sauerkraut or kombucha, and if there's still no improvement, then look at adding in supplements. Take it one step at a time or you'll never actually know what helped... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
