Vegan- Stomach Pains?!
I became a vegan about three weeks ago (after 9 years of being an ovo-lacto vegetarian!. Just this week, I've started having sharp stomach pangs (and I'm not hungry, I'm being very healthy with fruits, vegetables, legumes, etc) and nausea that don't feel like cramps at all (though I am on my period)!.!.!. Do you think this cam be related to my becoming vegan!? I'm not taking vitamin supplements besides an occasional vitamin C!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Your body is NOT in starvation mode!. *rolls eyes*
Maybe you are just stressed over something!? Stress can cause a variety of nasty things to happen to your body!. Stress can cause cramping!.
Diet wise, I don't think vitamin C supplementation is necessary if you are eating lots of fruit and veg!.
Try to be gentle with your body, don't do too much strenuous exercise, and if you are stressed, try relaxing in a nice bubble bath!.
Some herbal teas may worsen cramps, but green tea should help!.
I would strongly recommend seeing a doctor if this continues!.
Best wishes to you, I hope you feel better soon!. :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's probably not related to your going vegan!.
But don't take Beano because it isn't vegetarian!. Ginger is good for nausea, and papaya is good if you have digestive issues!.
If you're under stress, that can cause all sorts of physical ailments!. And I sometimes do get nauseated around my period!. If it doesn't pass in a few days, go see a doctor!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

High fibre of fruits, vegetables, legumes, etc!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.make you fart!.
When you eat a lot of fibre, gas (wind) can build up inside!. Unless released, it can cause sharp pains & pangs in your stomach area!.
Maybe try massaging your stomach downwards and drinking plenty of filtered room temp water, to get things moving!.!.!.!.!.!.!.so to speak!.
Otherwise, may just be period related!. Sometimes when you change your diet, it can affect other things for a short time (i!.e!.) periods!.

This is kind of weird but are you sure you don't have really bad gas!? I know that when I eat more vegetables than normal my stomach gets really gassy and sore!. I am an ovo-lacto vegetarian so I am not the best source for this but that came to mind when I read your question!.

I don't imagine it's something you're eating!. You don't seem to have ADDED anything new to your diet!.
There *is* the stomach flu going around!. I don't know where you are, but everyone in AZ is having a nasty case of it!.
It's possible that is the issue!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

well you should eat a pomegranate or the inside is the best It shows that it helps with the stomach and relaxes it Maybe you can eat some more protein in your vegan diet you can have apples and peanut butter and all sorts of stuffWww@FoodAQ@Com
that is sorta weird!. if it doesn't pass soon i think you should consult with your doctor, but i doubt it has anything to do with going vegan!. and honestly don't you meat eaters have anything better to do than to bother us vegans!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Not due to being vegan of course!.
Could be due to many things!. Indigestion!.
Food poisoning!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

pain is your body telling you something isnt right!. you are obviously starving yourself, even though you dont feel hungry!. If I were you, I would keep ignoring the warning signs, and keep eating nuts and berries!.!.!.!.it will pass!. God vegans crack me up!.!.!.lolWww@FoodAQ@Com
Your body is reacting to the diet change and going into Starvation Mode!. This is serious! You must change or suffer the consequences of your actions!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Eat meat! Very healthy eating!. I don't think so!. Ok thumbs down salad lovers!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
