Fibre in Diet...

[shiny1]

For over the last week I have been extremely bloated and the only thing I can think that is different is my fibre in take. No matter how small I make my meals and space them out and eat a variety of foods, I think the high fibre diet is getting to me. I've added things like apples, carrots, lentils, brown rice, broccoli and high fibre cereals...What can I do to combat this, and/or how long does it take your body to adjust to this "new" way of eating? I have been drinking a ton of water to go with this as well. I am frustrated with the bloating, it feels like I am gaining rather than losing the weight!!

If you made a drastic change then that may be part of the problem. Gradually introduce and increase the amount. Digestive enzymes might help the transition too.

But it could also be a food allergy (gluten) or too much sodium & possibly problems with foods with too much lactose (dairy) or fructose (fruit).
