    Stomach pains?

    A few mornings since I started Atkins (I'm on day 10 {6 clean}), I've had some bad stomach pains. I can't really describe it, but I just want to lay down and curl up, which is hard to do at work Anyway, is this normal? Have any of you heard about this? Should I be concerned?

    Thanks for the help!

    Re: Stomach pains?

    I had a few days of wicked indigestion and reflux, I don't know if this is the same as you are experiencing. Are you taking vitamins now and not previously? Sometimes, vitamins can upset your stomach if you take them on an empty stomach.

      No, it's not quite like indigestion. It makes me feel nauseas though It passes after about an hour or so. And no, I haven't started my vitamins yet...

          Are you constipated? I once had terrible stomach pains which went once I had managed to 'go'.

              I also had terrible pains which were constipation. Make sure you drink loads of water and maybe some psyllium husk (did the trick for me).x

                    I am a firm believer in FLAX seed oil tablets - available at Walmart for $4.88 for 100 softgels that are 1200 mg each. I take 2 a day with my vitamins and all is well unless I overindulge in med. cheddar cheese. In the beginning I also had dizziness and wanted to puke. It does pass. If it doesn't ,go see a doc.

                      I did make use of glycerine suppositories - but if you decide to try these make sure you are not far from the loo, so you can get there in time!!

                        Thanks for the help everyone; I wish it were because I could be pregnant, but am not I also seem to be going pretty regularly so far, but I don't think it would hurt to try the husks.

                          You could also have a food intolerance. I get severe stomach pain when I eat lettuces. I have tried many kinds, but they all give me stomach pains. I have found that my max lettuce intake is maybe three cups of lettuce a week spread out. Instead of using lettuce for the base of my salads, I use cucumbers instead and this seems to be working out rather well for me.

                            Other than constipation or the flu, there is one possibility I went through. Gall stones. Very possible if the pains flare up not long after eatig fat.

                            Whatever it is, if it persists, I would see the doctor.

                              tmn - soooo weird you say that! I was just coming on here to ask about that!! I keep having the pains (having them now, in fact), and did some googling and found out that it sounds a lot like gallstones I have the pain, the location of the pain, feeling nauseas, high fat diet - just so many of the symptoms. It's gotta be that, or maybe an ulcer? Never had either...

                              What do you all think? Any of you ever experience gallstones?

                              My insurance doesn't kick in until May 1st, but I think I am going to go to a walk in clinic tomorrow. I can't take the pain anymore.
