[QUOTE="SockFiddler, post: 1536947, member: 412001"] I wonder if it's a fibre issue? I don't know how much is in what off the top of my head, but here's my thinking - - Some veg we eat raw, and they're tasty just like that. Salad veggies, eg - Some veg we cook to make them taste better, and they're otherwise fairly soft - aubergines, mushrooms etc - Some veg we need to cook to soften them up as eating them raw is far more work! Carrots, cabbage, brown onions (I know, coleslaw!) - That some veg needs to be softened suggests (in my brain) that they have a higher fibre content. - Fibre is useful in the gut, as an aid to digestion (among other things). - Maybe the bloated feeling is from our guts not... somehow dealing well with a sudden influx of fibre? Particularly if we're high-protein people, it might be that we need to "retrain" our guts to adapt to more fibrous foods, but this process - as we all know - isn't a fun one! It's a theory - completely unbased in science and only a little nutritional knowledge. [/QUOTE]
