Hi everyone,
I started back on here about 2.5 weeks ago. I've always been heavier and want to lose weight but recently found out I also have high cholesterol.

I recently changed my diet A LOT. I've went from eating out/fast food almost every day and regularly drinking to a low cholesterol/carb/fat, 1200 calorie diet and minimal alcohol. I feel good for the most part.

The last few days though my stomach has been acting weird. I don't feel sick but I keep getting the feeling in my stomach almost like I have a hang over or have to poop. Is this normal with a big diet change?

    I think anytime we adjust our diet our stomach/digestion takes a bit to catch up,I always get stomach probs when trying new ways to eat

    Fiber and fat make for happier poop management. Your description of eating low cholesterol/carb/fat makes me wonder if you might want to try upping these in your diet some?

    Absolutely. Veggies make you poop and give you the bubble guts. Especially green, leafy veggies. Fruits and veggies mess with the good bacteria in your intestines and cause you to be more gassy. Its absolutely normal.

    Did you doctor specifically recommend low carb plus low fat? That sounds like a recipe for constipation to me.

    Maybe ask him or her for a referral to a dietitian.
