Hi all,

When I first started by diet evrything was normal, then every few days I'd start to get a bit gassy, but it would soon pass. But now since Friday the gas feeling hasen't stopped and has made me quite sick, I thought I may have caught a stomach bug, because I'm extremley gassy and in a lot of pain in the lower stomach/groin area.

Anyone got any ideas? Preferably someone with medical knowledge?

Not enough fibre? Or just a nasty stomach bug.

Sorry if I've "grossed" anyone out.

I recommend chewing some fennel if you have gas. It works wonders. No way to tell from here if you have a bug or not. If not better in a couple days be sure to visit your doctor.

Are you using a protein powder like whey? And by chance are you mixing it with milk?

Some people have problems with whey protein powder. Maybe try removing it fromyour diet.

Mixing whey with milk might give you gas.

Could it be constipation?

If you're constipated I strongly suggest doing an enema (sorry for grossing). It's not good to leave all that waste in your body.

I hope you can get a medical advise as well.
