Intestinal Issues:(

Does not having sugar and flour create intestinal issues? Or is it all the real food/veg/more meat going in that causes problems? Is it normal to have intestinal cramps and maybe diarrhea or conversely not be regular anymore? Gosh this is hard to ask.

Answer:

Your body is going through changes when you change the source of fuel. You know when you go on vacation and eat food that you aren’t familiar with, your body sometimes has diarrhea or stomach cramps. Our bodies are sensitive to changes, which is a great thing. Give yourself some grace that your body is regulating to the new healthy foods. You are doing the great things for your body- this is so wonderful.

You can expect your body to start regulating soon. Make sure to drink a lot of water.

So proud of you for asking the hard questions.
