Adjusting to high fiber intake...
 
Since starting WW, I have increased my fiber intake dramatically. As a result, my stomach hurts ALL THE TIME! It especially hurts at night and has caused many nights of tossing and turning. Wondering if anyone else had this problem starting out and how long it took your body to adjust??? I'm currently in the beginning of my fourth week and yesterday/last night was worse than ever!

hmmm I haven't had that problem - but I do know that when you increase your fibre you also need to make sure you increase your water... maybe your not getting enough water to move all that fibre through your system.... maybe try to up your intake...

Hope that helps.

Thank you... I remember reading that now, and I definitely do not drink enough water so that certainly could be the problem. I'll try that and see what happens.

I say get on your hands and knees with your behind in the air and let it rip! All this fiber has made me SOOOO gassy! :)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I wish I could!!... that's the problem, though! It just stays in my stomach and rumbles.
