Low carb and upset tummy

I lowered my carbs to around 25%. To compensate, I added fat and proteins in my diet. I have PCOS so I think this is the best for me (please no debating in this tread!!!!) but I feel like I have an upset stomach most of the time. Also I had my gallbladder removed 7 years ago and higher fat has a certain impact on my system (get my meaning). Did you have tummy trouble when you started low carbs?

keep on doing what you are doing. Our bodies are amazing. You body will start to figure out what to do with the new level of fat you are ingesting and will calm down. It might help to make sure that you are eating more frequently and not just big meals. Let your gut ease into the increase. So break down what you are going to eat and nosh every couple of hours for a few days. See if that helps.

Hey when you say low carb have you replaced all of your flour and sugar bases and replaced them with natural sugars like fruits? Also, replace all the bad carbs with veg and brown rice. If you are having tummy problems be careful with the types of veggies you eat like broccolli does a number on my stomach. The same thing happens when I have too many fruits especially banana's. Sit down and right down what exactly you eat at the time that made your stomach upset and adjust from there thats what I did. i hope you feel better.

I do pretty low carb and I get an upset tummy when I haven't uh..."gone" in a couple days. I take a Correctol to get things moving and then I'm back to normal in 12 hours or so.

I had the same problem, after a month of doing this and not losing any wieght, i upped my carbs , i feel better, i sleep better, am losing wieght,and my body has gone back to going normaly :embarassed: , not say i'm right and your wrong its just about what works for you

good luck on your journey

when i first started i was getting weird tummy aches too (i'm also PCOS so at first i thought it was my ovaries) but i found that switching to gluten-free products and fresh veggies for my carbs helped significantly (and i lost weight dramatically, which as a PCOS woman i'm sure you know isn't easy for us at all!) and also swallowing a tablesppon of raw organic coconut oil. its a detox, that pulls alot of the yucky wastes our bodies hold onto, and also helps curb sugar cravings (which was also hard to avoid when first going low carb) also if you can stomach it, i'd say maybe a little yogurt cup with some flax seed to help ease some of the bowel movement issues, in case that bloackage is the issue. i hope i've helped, i know that i had to experiment on myself a bit to find what worked for my body vs. what worked for more regulated females bodies. good luck, and please dont hesitate to message me if you have any questions

Thanks I do it more because I'm a type II diabetic and I'm extremely sensitive to carbs. Like when I eat too many, I blow up like a balloon. LOL. Not to mention they wreak havoc on my blood sugar.

I'm not quite as low as the OP, but I do try to limit them.

Since you had your gall bladder remove, you should consider supplementing with black walnut to aid in the process the gall bladder used to perform. I've known several folks who had their gall bladders removed and suffered from similar symptoms until they started supplementing with black walnut. Does not eliminate problems totally, but brought them significant relief. You should also take what trainingwithtony said and cut back on the fats. The gall bladders job is to deal with fats and w/o one, your body will react uncomfortably with the un-treated fats. Good luck.

I also have had my gall bladder out. I started a low carb diet Dec 20 and there are days I feel very yucky. I have tried cutting down the fats I eat and stick to leaner meats. I am still having gurgling tummy issues and feeling yucky. I am wondering if maybe it's all the dairy I have been eating. Maybe I will try cutting back. I think if we just tweak things a little as needed we will find our niche. I have lost 15lbs since I started amost 4 weeks ago and have another 30 to 40 to go so I will stick to lower carb. I have tried everything else, but until I drastically cut carbs I didn't lose anything. I hope my body adjusts and soon.

My two cents- maybe looking into changing the types of carbs you get.

Like my dad had to switch to rice-pastas after his gaul was taken out.
