Bloating :(
02 Feb 2013, 19:00
I have done my first week with 2 fasts and all went well, lost 3 lbs. However, the day after I had a really painful bloated stomach and today it still a bit bloated but not painful. I would think this is fairly normal and I did eat alot of carbs on the day after the fast. Has anyone else had this side effect? I think I will go easy with the carbs next time and see if that helps.

Yes I do too. Now I'm watching my calories and try not to go over 280gr of carbs on normal days. It seems to do the trick. I just had 3 pancakes and it was just right (that's my starter, main course and dessert lol). It seems a lots of carbs but if I have less than 250gr I might be hungry. I am still experimenting :)

I had no carbs at all on my fast day, it was the following day that I went a bit carb crazy. I'll be more careful next time.

This really is a problem for me :( Doesn't seem to matter what I eat my belly puffs up like a balloon every evening. I am losing weight but find it odd as to why I look approx 6 mnths pregnant at the end of the day!!!

* mumofstars *.......perhaps a food allergy ? Might be worth getting checked at the Dr's.
