nicolemalena Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I've had horrible gas and bloating this week. I can't seem to figure out the culprit though, so here's my meals for the week: My breakfast every day has been a vegetable egg bake. Ingredients: shredded potato, sauteed mushrooms, red onion and bell peppers, and eggs. This morning (Wednesday) I ate a hard boiled egg with half an avocado and olive oil for my pre-workout meal, then ate the rest of the avocado with my egg bake. I drink 2 cups of coffee every morning with Nutpods. Lunch every day has been a tortilla soup with chicken, bell peppers, onion, jalapeno, and chicken broth... plus seasonings. I also have homemade plantain chips, an apple and on Mon & Tue I ate the apple with almond butter. I assumed the almond butter was causing the gas... but today I'm having the same symptoms. I ate my apple plain today! I have been having a cup of coffee after lunch, but the symptoms usually start before that (they kick in right when I start eating lunch.) My dinner on Mon & Tue was sauteed potatoes, zucchini and Aidells chicken sausage. I realize there hasn't been much variety this week (I don't typically do that, I have a grocery store trip planned after work today.) I'm also on Day 10 of Whole30 and I drink about 3 liters of water a day. (I'm 5'6.5" and I believe 150 pounds... that's an estimate since I don't own a scale.) Please send help because 5 PM can't get here soon enough when this happens ha ha ha Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted September 14, 2016 Moderators Share Posted September 14, 2016 Try eliminating the Nutpods, which are made with almonds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplepadres Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 In addition to cutting out the nut products (I know they cause bloating & other discomfort for me), you may look at changing up your veggies. Peppers & onions can cause gas/bloating/upset in some folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jj18 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I had a lot of gas and bloating last week, and nothing different from the usual food-wise. I think you might also just be in a state where your gut is still processing this whole thing. Mine has calmed down this week, so it might not be any food in particular (or it might be for you). Just wanted to say my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
