healthy foods=tummy troubles?

I seems my gut is just totally off balance lately and I have been trying to figure it out and it seems a lot of "healthy" foods are triggers for my problems. Dairy, nuts, broccoli, legumes, whole grains etc. I have tried to figure out what it could be but I just don't know. I am on the verge of seeing a Dr. about it but was hoping to figure it out myself. How come it seems healthier foods can cause irritability/gas/constipation/etc? I feel it is carb related in all honesty. Is this possible? Any other ideas?

Could be all of the above...I eat whole clean foods but don't have legumes and grains in my diet...and only a small amount of dairy (basically half and half in my coffee and some dark chocolate here and there)

Yeah, my fiancee has the same problem, it turns out that a lot of healthy foods just give you gas, and that can be extremely painful. When you see your doctor print out your food logs so the doctor can see exactly what you are eating, and how much.

Items in high in protein can make you extremely gassy. I find that drinking lots of water/eating tons of fiber helps somewhat with this.

make sure you are drinking plenty of water

You probably haven't adapted yet to the higher fiber life that goes with healthy eating.

for starters, of course go see a doctor but i had some thoughts, how long have you been doing the weight loss thing? could it be that your body is simply adjusting to the healthier choices you are making? if you are changing your diet its going to be a shock to your system. Your body would be used too bad eating habits, its going through with drawals, i would assume that now its less calories, less sugar, more fibre more protien, your body has gotta be confused lol maybe eating too little/much fibre, iron? perhaps try taking some probiotics, digestive helpers (i was having a lot of stomach problems and starting taking those and it helped a lot) but i figure, iv been at this for almost 2 years now and if i eat fast food, or deep fried foods i get bad stomach aches because my body isnt used to it....just some ideas, hope it helps

I went vegan for Lent (40 days) doing a Daniel fast. And the pipes were certainly rumbling before my body got used to it and settled down. Took about 3 weeks, and things were normal again. Give yourself time to adjust. The gurgles and squeaks won`t hurt you. And your body gets better in dealing with gas. In the end, it is all to the good.

could be the fiber content...

That happened to everyone in my home when we changed what we ate. I had to eventually slowly substitute certain foods for other slowly. Our bodies just weren't used to it. Today I had almond milk for the first time and my tummy isn't liking it too much. Will continue to give it a try maybe drink a cup every other day see how it goes. Definitely bring it up to your doctor who can help you out more but it can be your body adjusting.

I read an article once about being addicted to bad foods. The article said that our bodies actually grow addicted to unhealthy foods so when we change our diet our body actually has to adjust to the new eating style. It was really interested. Basically they said that if you're having this issue and feel like you can tough it out, after a few weeks it should go away. Another option was to slowing introduce these items to your system. Another reason for this could be something I have that is similar to IBS. When I eat a lot of certain foods it upsets my entire digestive system.

I can see this. When I started I had all kinds of tummy troubles (gas and other things), now that I have been doing this for almost 60days now it has gotten A LOT better.
