Gas and Bloating From Vegan Diet

by Anonymous

Question:

What can I do? Just started the The Engine 2 Diet and the fresh veggies are killing me. I'm almost scared to leave the house - therefore, I'm scared to eat because it causes gas. Help! I really like the way I feel while eating this way as long as I don't feel so bloated and gasey.

Answer:

Gas and bloating are sometimes the unfortunate side effects of switching to a more plant-based diet. Your body does need some time to adjust, but there are a few things you can do to combat the gas so you won't have to worry so much about leaving the house.
