Avoid or embrace high fiber?
Week 4 for me, everything going well until yesterday. I had been constipated the past few days, so I had half of a yellow dragon fruit. In case you don’t know, this is an Asian tropical fruit loaded with fiber; whenever I have been constipated in the past, one half of this is the cure. Well, yesterday, it was like a bunker buster bomb in my colon. I had trouble sleeping and I’m still a bit woozy today.
I do wonder if that was the total cause or not. I had a chicken shawarma wrap at a place that might be questionable. The day before, I had a Factor meal that was basically a high hamburger patty with seasoning and that gave me acid reflux. It may be all of these things together. I should avoid high fat meals.
Does high fiber trigger anyone else?
