Strange intestinal bloating...?

[Nervosia]

I've been doing the Atkins thing since March 4th but as some know already, I restarted on the 10th because of the corn flour revelation.

At any rate...for the past 6 or 7 days...I've been experiencing some weird sensations in my upper abdominal area...down to my lower abdomen. It's like there is a lot of water retention in these regions and I'm not sure why. I've also had some diarrhea...and I'm not sure if anyone knows anything about these symptoms because I thought you're only supposed to get constipated...and only if you're not consuming enough water.

I'm confused and very uncomfortable every night when I tuck in because there is this fluid retention that I keep trying to push down, but it feels like it is mixed with air bubbles or something.

Does anyone know anything about this?

Have you had anything with sugar alcohols in it? That is exactly the type effect that they produce. It does sound like it may be dietary...Any new foods?
