Missyyclaire, I can attest to the less gas and bloating as a result of going Paleo/Primal. It's amazing that for the longest time I thought that was normal. Now when I cheat on occasion, I can immediately feel the effects of the non-paleo food and the effect it has on me within minutes.

I always thought broccoli and beans gave me gas too until I figured out that it was what I was eating with it that gave me gas. Guess what that was...grains. Once I ditched the grains, no more stomach issues, gas, bloating, indigestion, etc. I do Paleo cheats with beans on occasion because its part of our New Mexico food culture but it's very little when I do. I haven't had a problem with broccoli or beans since though.

I thought the same thing.. if it upsets your stomach/ causes gas ,bloating etc.. then stop eating it.. but hey I'm not a "gluten" for punishment lol

I have almost no gas from eating Paleo. I didn't even notice how much less I had until I gave into an old habit and ate some pita chips. Oh my. Gasy and bloated for 12 hours. It only took me a week to see the difference in eating clean. I wish I could convince my family of how much happier they would be.

After eating bread on a flight last week (gimme a break, it was silly o'clock in the morning, I was hungry and there was no other food source for another 6 hours) I honestly thought I was getting sick. The gas was just constant, like I'd switched a faucet. Awful. Darned airline. On the way out I'd carefully packed boiled eggs and other safe things, but this was the way back and I had nothing on me to nibble. Cue fart attack. Ugh.
