    Not used to so much fibre? It can hit you that way sometimes...

    Epigastric pain (in the center and up high - just below your breastbone) can mean that your stomach isn't used to the extra effort needed to move raw/fiberous foods through. Switching to more cooked fruits and veg can help your body adjust.

    If the pain is lower (below your ribcage), it's more likely to be a sudden increase in fiber, or gas from your intestinal bacteria enjoying the treat! That will pass in a few days, although both more water and more fat can help with the symptoms.

    I had the same problem! Eating lots of veggies and fruit will make you have painful gas and stomach aches. Possibly try taking "Beano" for relief.
