  • Yes I do, I have IBS C. So bloating can be an issue for me. Other than artificial sweeteners and greasy foods, I am not too sure of triggers. Although raw fruits and vegis can be iffy. I just started juicing for better digestion but a know it does cut some fiber. Do you ever feel like you just can't win?

  • I also avoid artificial sweeteners. I am one of those that has negative reactions to them, stomache upset and migraines. So it is quite irritating when I go over my MFP daily sugar level. Especially when eating my greek yogurt! Anyone else experience this?
