diet changing and tummy troubles
It's been nearly two years since I really changed my diet, adding in a lot more veggies and whole grains and I'm eating quite a bit less meat. I had mild problems with digestion and discomfort I thought would eventually work itself out after my body had adjusted. Well, it still hasn't gone away, in fact it's gotten worse. I don't know if it's diet related anymore or if it's something more like IBS, I have discomfort and TMI stuff nearly all the time now. Has anyone else experienced ongoing tummy problems after making good diet changes? I feel like I'm being punished for eating healthier. :-(
My doctor had me eliminate dairy for a couple weeks, that didn't help at all. I think I might try eliminating wheat for a while to see if maybe it's a wheat intolerance. Any other ideas? Natural remedies you'd recommend? I already take a probiotic.

Oh I feel for you!
After going vegetarian I figured out I was casein (milk protein) and gluten intolerant. I had always had stomach issues but they got worse over time. After eliminating both I feel so much better!. I have been vegan and gluten free now for about five years. Some other common food intolerances are soy and corn. I found a gluten free and vegan group on yahoo that helped me considerably as I made the adjustment.
Best of luck to you!
