whole30newb Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Mods: sorry, if this is not the right thread. If necessary, please move this post. Thank you! Hi all! I just finished my reintroduction about ten days ago. During the reintro days, my body did not show any specific negative symptoms to any food group (apart from a little bloating with dairy). However, now, basically after mixing stuff up, my tummy is very unhappy. Digestion is bad, sometimes having cramps. Also, snacking and overeating has returned. I am seriously considering another Whole30. Would that be advisable? What would you do in my place? The thing is, there are some foods that I do not really want to skip on (such as greek yogurt). However, during Whole30 I was feeling so much better. Thanks for your input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchrodingersCat Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Lots of people go a second, third and more round! If you felt better, why not? You could also consider a slow reintro afterwards, rather than the normal one. I'm doing that - I'm reintroing one thing each weekend and staying compliant on weekdays, and I've broken down the reintro into smaller items, like alcohol/sugar, lactose free dairy, lactose dairy, non-soy legumes, soy, corn, rice, other non-gluten grains, gluten grains.

whole30newb Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 Thank you! I think it's still in my mind that it's not possible to follow Whole30 your entire life (even though it was pretty easy for me). I think I'll start again soon.

Jihanna Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I'd definitely go for another round, and maybe during a slow roll reintro you could purposefully mix 2 food groups at a time instead of just doing single groups since you already know how the singles affected you this time around... there's no reason at all (in my mind) why you can't customize the reintroduction to give yourself that additional information, especially since you've got proof that something is mixing and not playing nicely with the group. I think it's possible to follow very closely to Whole30 forever, especially for those who find that they honestly don't tolerate certain things well... to me, Whole30 is all about coming to a point where I've written my own rules for what, when, how, and how often I eat - including having my own rules for why I make specific decisions regarding food. Will I constantly avoid every tiny bit of added sugar? Probably not. But will I seriously think twice about putting sugar in my coffee, tea, or anything I cook? Definitely. The same holds true for any foods I've tested that don't totally mess me up... I might choose to eat them here and there, but chances are that I won't eat them daily and that I'll give it a serious think before I make that decision.

whole30newb Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 I will use up all my non-Whole30 foods and then maybe do a Whole7 or Whole14. After that, I guess mostly doing Paleo sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whole30newb Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 So, my plan so far is: - Week 1: Whole30 - Week 2: Paleo + Dairy - Week 3: Paleo + Gluten-Grains - Week 4: Paleo + Non-Gluten Grains - Week 5: Paleo + Legumes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
