Phase 2 start--Digestion issues
7
Tue, 10-23-2007 - 8:15pm

Hi Everyone,


I've officially made it into Phase 2. This is my 2nd full day and I feel terrible. Yesterday (the 1st day), I had a single plum as my fruit. I immediately developed a stomach ache. Today, I had a pear and the same thing happened. I used to eat these fruits all the time pre-Phase 1, and wondered if anyone else had digestion/gastrointestinal issues when they began reintroducing fruit (or anything else) to their diet.

Hi K!


Welcome to phase 2!! I've never had trouble on the diet (knock on wood) with a legal food.


If I eat goldfish, regular pizza, or meat too high in fat I do get an upset tummy. I am sure one of our knowledgeable cl's can chime in on your fruit problem!!


In the meantime - go play in the DYK!

I didn't have these issues, but maybe your body is having some adjustment to the natural sugars.

Hi,


There isn't any reason why you should be feeling sick after eating fruit.

Did your stomachache go away? How long did it take? The reason I ask is that it could just coincidentally be a stomach bug that's going around -- my DH had it this past weekend and lots of kids in the schools here in VA have it. Make sure you're washing your hands and drinking plenty of fluids...

Maggie,
I think I have picked up a bug. My stomach has been upset even when having the normal foods (lean turkey, cheese) that I had in phase 1. I must have picked up something b/c my appetite is almost non-existent at this point. But I eat small protein meals anyway, to keep up the weight loss.

Thanks for your concern!
