so i have this problem with bloating/ stomach pains after eating lunch. i will usually have a salad and maybe an apple, no soda, nothing super high in salt, nothing processed, not huge portions. it feels like i just cant digest it and it is pretty embarassing. does anyone have any suggestions? or reasons why this might be happening? thanks

    Sounds like you might check in with your doc on this in case it's something more serious.:flowerforyou:

    I feel like that after eating just an apple. There's something about fruits and vegetable that kind of upset my stomach. I try to add some carbs to absorb some of the acids and juices and it usually helps.

    I sounds like the fiber you are taking in is trying to do its job. Have you ever done a colon cleanse? You may want to do one. You might be backed up so the fiber can't push everything through.

    I would also make an appointment with your doctor and maybe get a stomach x-ray.

    Salad can be gas inducing for some ppl, especially if it's cabbage.

    Do you use iceberg lettuce? People do not digest this lettuce very well.
