Intestinal cramps when switching to tf diet?

[kristinas8]

Has anyone else experienced this? My family is doing fine, but its tearing me up. Will it eventually go away or is this diet not for me?

I definitely didn't feel so great at first after eating meals really rich in coconut oil and broth. After a while, I felt great afterwards. I think it took me a little while to get used to it.

It might be the richness if you are all of a sudden eating a lot more fat. Maybe backing down on the fat consumption and increasing it again slowly?

I agree. My husband had trouble with the switch, then after settling in...he had the same trouble whenever we'd eat out (SAD food). I think his stomach was just more sensitive to change. Hang in there,

What are the specific changes you've made?

Is it possible you're consuming a lot more dairy than you used to? Dairy doesn't agree with some of us, and although raw seems to work for some when pasteurized didn't, for others, even raw is a no-go.

As for things like fat content--what's best for any given individual seems to vary within a wide range, it's a good place to experiment.
