Past one month I am having a combination of vegetables cooked (except for carrot and cucumber) , meat/chicken/fish, egg and fruits for breakfast , lunch and dinner but my body is bloated and filled with gases.
have been drinking 10 glasses of water but still the bloat is not going . where am I going wrong?
Note - have been following whole30 diet

Some people have those type of reactions to vegetables in general... I don't have that particular program, so I don't really know...0

Yeah, that's often an issue with insoluble fiber in general. Try dropping the more fibrous vegetables and see if your bloating issues improve. Leafy green vegetables are high in insoluble fiber, so that might be a good place to start.0

@KnitOrMiss this program is a stricter version of paleo
@ dragonwolf - I do hve rich fibrous vegetables occasionally like green veggies and cabbage. Most frequently I hve eggplant, okra, tomatoes, bell peppers and some indian vegetables
can I introduce some rice to reduce bloating?
Does beef cause bloating0 -
Everyone's body is different, so there is no telling what will cause bloating in your particular system versus someone else's. I would suggest a probiotic or taking beano or something similar before high fiber veggie meals - or simethicone after if you bloat? Otherwise, I'd do elimination to determine which veggie or veggies are the culprit. Remove one item for a week, or all the high fiber ones, then add one back in, if no problems after a few days of that one, add another, etc.
And I'm sorry my quick answer wasn't clear above - I've familiar with the general ideas of the Whole30 diet, I just don't have personal experience with it. Right before I dropped my carbs and went low carb, high fat, moderate protein at my endocrinologist's behest, I had a lot of bloating issues that were very uncomfortable. I mainly dealt with in with beano... I wish I could afford a good probiotic. I just need to figure out how to work more fermented items into my daily diet!0 -
This sounds really similar to what I experienced. I got *really* bloated when eating grain products. But I got almost as equally bloated when eating a lot of vegetables on a diet similar to Whole 30. Leafy greens & squashes don't seem to bother me. I think it is a reaction to the type of fiber for me. It got a little bit better when I added in probiotics, but still wasn't fabulous. I couldn't take Beano for the bloat because I'm one of the lucky people that it makes nauseous.
I've been on a Low Carb High Fat diet for about 4 weeks now (at doctor's recommendations), and feel amazing. It still feels weird to have my non-leafy vegetable intake drop that much lower, I currently only have 1-2 non-leaf/green veggies a day & hardly any fruit...but it's also nice not to have a hard, bloated tummy that makes people wonder if I'm preggars :-).0 -
HOW and WHEN should I take a probiotic?
Does anyone have idea about yakult probiotic?
Any natural food items rich in probiotic?0 -
I always took mine once a day on an empty stomach (normally about an hour before I had my morning protein smoothie).
This was a recent/good study comparing a lot of the top-selling brands of probiotics. I take/took the NOW Foods one listed (Ranked 2nd in Quality, Ranked 3rd in Value) https://labdoor.com/rankings/probiotics
Just remember if you buy probiotics, they are best kept in the fridge to keep the little dudes alive/active.
As far as natural sources: yogurt, kefir, UNPASTURIZED saurkraut/kimchi, kombucha...just to name a few.0 -

Eggplant, tomatoes, and peppers are nightshades. Try dropping them for a couple of weeks and see if it improves.
I wouldn't bring rice in right now. Something is causing it and adding something else won't solve the problem and may even make things worse.0 -
Which vegetables am I supposed to consume then?
0 -
Personally, I don't know that I have problems with nightshades, but I stick to:
Broccoli
Asparagus
Green Beans
Mushrooms
Green Onions
Bean Sprouts
Cabbage
Occasionally:
Cauliflower
Brussels Sprouts
Tomatoes (nightshade)
Cucumbers
Bell Peppers and/or Jalapenos (nightshades)
Other Onions
That's just me. I have noticed that spices recently have cause a lot of discomfort for me... I made some meatballs and I think I was a little heavy handed with the Italian Seasoning Blend I use... I almost never have gassy food burps anymore, and I had them still about 12 hours later... It was not fun. But mostly I tasted the Italian stuff...so I think there is either something in that particular blend or I used too much of something...0 -
Here's a nice list of vegetables, just cross off tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant, everything else is fair game -- http://www.ruled.me/best-low-carb-vegetables-ketogenic-diet/
Also, to note - Paprika is a nightshade, too.0
