mccannmp1 New User Apr 14, 2012, 7:14 AM Post #1 of 4 (7350 views) Shortcut New Vegan Needs Help Can't Post - Sign Up! Hi. I have been about 100% vegan for about 10 weeks. I pretty much switched cold turkey after reading "Skinny Bastard" At first things were great. Lately i'm having some issues that are difficult including rashes, headaches, nausea, etc. This week started something new and very odd. I have had, almost constantly, deep hunger pains and a bloated feeling at the same time. It is very strange - almost like I"m starving and stuffed at the same time. It's not pleasant. I've read lots of info online about detox symptoms..but none like this. Is this a passing detox thing? (I hope)... The Good news..tons of energy, big weight loss from my belly (first time i've had a flat belly since I was probably 10.) thanks for any input/suggestions. Mike

Have you increased any particular food since changing your diet? For example, if you have even a small gluten intolerance and were not really eating much wheat/gluten before but have now increased it you will notice a big reaction. Starving and stuffed at the same time screams gluten to me, but then since I cannot have any gluten at all, it would. Other foods that come to mind that might cause that reaction are soyfoods. Tofu in particular can cause bloating and diarrhea. Nuts don't usually cause the type of reaction you describe.
