TF makes my tummy hurt?

[GoddessKristie]

DH and I started TF about a month and a half ago and every night since we started my belly has hurt. It comes on around 10 ro 10:30 and doesn't let up until I go to sleep.

Here's a typical day of eating for me:
Breakfast: 9:30 1 egg with 1 piece of toast, both fried in 1 T of butter, 1 c oatmeal with 2T coconut oil and about 1/4C dates chopped in, 2t CLO, beet kvass.
Lunch: 12:00 Peanut butter and jelly sandwich, salad, 2 T coconut oil.
Dinner: 7:00 pork tenderloins fried in olive oil with conventional breading, roasted potatoes and carrots tossed in olive oil with seasoning.

Some days are more TF than others, but breakfast is always the same, lunch is always similar to that. Sometimes we have eggs again for lunch.


Any else have the problem? Any idea what it could be?

Where on your abdomen do you hurt? That can be really telling, or it might not.

Does anything make it feel better? If you skip anything does it not happen that night?

If you ate a lowfat diet, switching to a high fat one can take some getting used to. Your body might fight the fat until it 'remembers' what to do with it.

Also, if you have yeast issues, dieoff is common when you introduce coconut oil.

There might be other reasons..

After I gave birth to my dd, I started getting stomach pains. Well, not really stomach pains but up under my ribs on the right side. I finally figured out that it was eggs causing it. I can eat baked goods with eggs, or mixed in other stuff, but not straight or even in a smoothie. I think it's probably my gallbladder. When I eat an egg (ya know to torture myself and see if I can eat them again), a glass of water with 1 T apple cider vinegar makes the pain stop pretty quickly.

Yeah, that sounds like your gallbladder. I had the same thing happen to me. So sorry.

The pain is in my stomach. I've tried skipping different things but nothing helps unless I've eaten a conventional diet that day (sometimes that happens when we're out and about a lot). Maybe it is adjustment, did anyone else have this problem?
I'll try some ACV after dinner tonight and see if that helps.
Thanks for the responses so far, ladies. I'd love to hear more!

What do you mean by conventional diet? I've been finding that this means different things to different people.

Where in your stomach? Upper right, right under the ribcage? Lower left?

By conventional diet I mean the typical American diet. When we are on the road eating out a lot we eat mostly McDonald's, Wendy's for lunch and dinner at places like Chili's and Applebees. Lots of hamburgers and french fries type food.

The pain is right in my stomach, not to either side, right where I feel hungry.
