Re: Re: Gas and the Warrior Diet

[Guest guest]

Anyone here who is using the Warrior Diet to time the consumption of

their foods ever had a problem with gas?

The last couple of weeks that has been a problem for me and Suze, more

Suze than me. I think it can be attributed to one of maybe several

things:

1. We didn't have much in the way of fermented foods which is normally a

regular part of our diets, like kimchi. And which normally, at least for

me, helps things go quite smoothly.

2. We were eating things we don't normally eat, like Garden of Eatin Red

Hot Blues which my sister decided to pick up for me, recalling that I

liked them *years* ago. Now from past experience, at least with me,

these chips are very addicting, which is why I hardly ever buy them,

besides the crappy ingredients in the seasoning. But with salsa they are

ooohhhh so good. We eventually graduated to the Kettle masa chips but we

still ate a lot which is not normal for either of us.

3. She ate a lot more food than she is normally used to eating.

4. I was eating after a semi-fast state of about 45 days where I

alternated water fasting with mostly fruit eating.

I will be okay very soon after my body adjusts, I drop the chips,

reintroduce kimchi on a regular basisnand maybe utilize a very good

digestive tonic I have used in the past. I can't speak for Suze, but

probably the same approach will work for her.

But again, out of curiosity, anyone had any problems with gas eating the

large warrior meal?

By the way, if you haven't tried eating the Warrior meal with others in

stages, as Ori suggests, i.e over a 4 hour period, you are missing out

on a real delight....<weg>

Actually consuming gas has always been a problem. It won't stay on the spoon,

and it is SOOO hard to see ;--)

Seriously though, I've had so much LESS problem with gas on the WD, or any

other kind of gut issue. Kind of surpising, since the common advice if you

have gut problems is to eat more frequent small meals ...

Yep.

Were you perhaps also eating raw foods, like raw cabbage? THAT is

a biggie.

Some of those also have beans? Beans are ok if I do them " right " but the chips

with

beans I'd think would be a problem.

Eating more than usual might be an issue, I'd think, though it hasn't

been for me personally.

As for eating over a 4-hour period in stages, with others ... yeah, the

Romans used to do that all the time ... a nice relaxed feast.

Which reminds me about holiday weight gain ... I didn't. I DID go

feast at my sibling's house (me bringing all the stuff that traditionally

uses wheat) and I pigged out over a somewhat longer period than

usual, but really, it wasn't more of a binge than every evening (although more

alcohol by a long shot!). Next morning, felt ok, back to normal

routine, except the different food set me off just a tad. Day after

that, everything totally normal.

This is unusual ... holidays are usually a merrygoround of

stuffing and guilt and promises of " dieting " come the new year.

I find sauerkraut gives me really bad gas! I think it

ferments in my gut. It also softens my BMs and makes

them much more frequent. So sounds like I have the

opposite problem to you if you find kimchi reduces the

problem!
