libchick Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Hello! I am on day 19 and am still having digestive issues. Not daily, but I wasn't daily before either. I just cannot figure out what's triggering them. I have been tracking my food and can find no real rhyme or reason. I am curious now about FODMAPs, but even that doesn't seem consistent. How do I figure out what's going on? And how do I start reintroducing foods, eventually, when I don't even know with this limited diet what the issues are? Any guidance is much appreciated.

jmcbn Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Hey @libchick Can you list out 3-4 days worth of your food log to see if we can't help you figure this out? I'd be reluctant to start any reintroductions until things have settled down for you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libchick Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 Thanks so much for the response! Here are four days (not the first four since I didn't keep track right at the beginning, but including two days where my stomach hurt, maybe from what I ate the day before. Day 1 Bacon, hard boiled eggs, cut veggies with homemade pesto Handful walnuts and raisins, beef stick Ground taco meat with cabbage, avocado, green salsa; cantaloupe Cashew milk with 1/2 banana, spinach, and collage/turmeric mix Stomach ache first half of the day after this day. Day 2 Bacon, hard boiled eggs, cut veggies with 1/2 avocado Handful walnuts and raisins Pork tenderloin with apples and onions, cauliflower rice Day 3 Ground sausage with butternut squash and chard Snack platter at party - deviled eggs, homemade tostones with guacamole, jicama, olives, sliced fruit Stomach ache next day after this day. Day 4 Frittata with spinach and bell peppers; 1/2 banana with almond butter Tuna with mayo and cut veggies, pickles, olives and two plums Rib eye steak with vegan creamed kale I drink one cup of coffee per day in the morning.

Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted September 21, 2017 Moderators Share Posted September 21, 2017 Raw veggies, raw greens and nuts can be notoriously hard on digestion and you've got quite a bit of all of those. Try switching to steamed/wilted greens and roasted veggies and backing off the nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libchick Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 Thanks for the advice! I'll give it a shot. I actually don't love raw veggies (not a big salad fan), but not sure how else to eat quick meals like tuna and egg salad that I use for lunch on the go. I'll see what I can do.

Debbie Eggen Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I was having diarrhea every day and couldn't figure it out either UNTIL the only new food that I am eating is ghee. Stopped it and guess what? Gone!! Not sure why though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
