digestive question
add a bunch more fibre friendly foods with the whole less cholesterol thing, but my stomach gets real weird about coffee now. It was always iffy to begin with, but now I’m getting a lot more grumbling and feeling a bit bloated. Does that eventually settle as my gut gets used to more fibre?
If you find yourself getting too bloated, aniseed/fennel tea is good. I crush up fennel seeds and soak them in hot water with a bit ginger.
The bloat and such does ease up eventually. The more you can poop, the better you'll feel.
Ah yeah, thats not a bad idea. A green tea would probs help too.
Green (for me at least) helps with digestion. Not sure about bloat. Peppermint might do the job. And green has caffeine in it too. If you're finding coffee gets you a bit funky, perhaps stick to herbals for a bit and see how they work.
Oh yeah, of course! thats a better idea.
