Umm.. embarrassing question about veggies

ILoveChoo · Hermes

you'll adjust in a few days. in the meantime, you could take some beano or soemthing if its really bad. Its probably just from the extra fiber.

Some veggies are worse than others (like broc). When I started adding more veggies, I would do some steamed and some raw as I got used to it. Some people who have digestive troubles, such as IBS, never completely acclimate to raw veggies.

When I started eating vegetables hardcore with a sudden interest in health, I had bad gas for probably a week or two. I would even devise ways to pass gassecretly, like going into another room for a pretend phone call, or do anything at work that could involve me walking outside or into a vacant room. It was slightly ridiculous and I almost gave up, but I'm so happy I didn't because now I eat veggies all day long and I'm healthier for it. It's also a good motivator not to fall back into my unhealthy eating habits, because I don't want to have to "acclimate" ever again!

Thanks for the comments. Maybe I will get used to it like ttara did after a week or two. Or maybe as pollyjean said - I may not get used to it if I have digestive troubles. I DO have alot of stomach issues (ulcers and gastrointestinal pains). Steamed veggies are no problem though. I wil lkeep trying and see how it goes. Thanks!
