Tummy Pain!

Help!
I have been changing my diet and eating more fresh fruits and veggies. My energy level is out the roof and I have lost a total of 12 lbs so far! Buuuuuuuuuut, every afternoon (especially after lunch) my stomach starts hurting...like I have gas. There's pressure and a little nausea but I'm not like dying on the floor. Just very uncomfortable.
I read that fresh foods can cause gas, so I tried some chewable over-the-counter gas pills and some Beano, but nothing seems to help!
I just don't want to make a trip the doc's but I may have to!

    If you're eating a lot of fruits and vegetables for the first time, it can definitely cause tummy upset until your body adjusts. I would go to the doctor if it lasts over a few weeks. Otherwise, I'd say your body is adjusting to the new diet.

    Thanks!
    I think I may go to the doctor just to make sure its not anything more serious!
