    That's you belly's way of saying "thanks, that was good."

    Seriously, you might have a bit of a gluten intolerence. Consider cutting it out for a few weeks and see if you feel better.

    My first thought was gluten intolerance. Improper food combining is a possibility as well.

    So what do you cut your macros to on carbs ? Or just leave it?

    Gluten is a wheat product. You'd have to do some research to know all the foods it's in.

    I've been researching it quite a bit as my mom is GI. At first I thought it wasaybe lactose, but I've switched to almond milk (yum) and it says lactose free, so idk.
