[QUOTE="AliB, post: 88286, member: 16907"] I would suggest that you persevere for a while - when you change your diet so radically your body can take a while to adjust. The higher carbs and especially if they are gluten-based like bread, cake, biscuits, etc., can encourage pathogenic bacteria and yeasts in the gut and they can kick up a stink for a bit when their food source is removed. The low-carb will eventually get them under control, but it needs some perseverance. That may well be the cause of your stomach issues. Personally I would watch how things pan out over the next month or two. When I started the Specific Carb Diet 15 months ago which is a lower carb regime that cuts out all starches, grains, sugar and most dairy, it took quite some weeks for my digestion to settle - I suspect that it finally was given the opportunity to off-load lots of rubbish. I remember about 10 days after dropping gluten originally in Jan 08, and dairy a day or two later, that I suddenly got a severe pain in my left foot. It corresponded with a weird feeling in my left side of stuff going down my tubes from my liver. Sure enough, my liver was sore too just below my left armpit. The waves of pain that kept coming and going in my foot continued for the rest of the day and started to abate by the evening - within another day it had gone completely and my liver was no longer sore. Interestingly, the area where I got the foot pain equates in Reflexology with the lower end of the liver. It obviously had a huge clear-out. What of I haven't a clue - fat? Stones? Sludge? Maybe all three! It's like it breathed a sigh of relief and said 'thank the heck she's no longer loading in that rubbish, I can start getting rid of it all now! My health has still been up and down over the last 18 months and I still get evidence of my body trying to off-load stored toxins but I have gone from having virtually no digestion to being able to eat most things in the way of highly natural nutritious food. I no longer eat rubbish - not even gluten-free, which is typically much higher in carbs than gluten foods. My husband also eats gluten-free and is better for it but he will nosh the GF bikkies. As his BS has been borderline Diabetic I am trying to get him to drop them but he moans that he has 'nothing' to eat. I pointed out that I am managing perfectly well without them! [/QUOTE]
