TMI: can raw spinach give you gas

[quotidianlight]

I've had a horrible few days of it but today it came to a head and I'm near tears. I thought it was constipation but after todays misery I am going through everything I have eaten. It started about a week ago. I'm not using the restroom as much as before so I thought that was why, I am bloated, and belching from both ends. It's so bad that it affects the scale. I'll acually weigh less after a ... release... then before. I've NEVER had this before and I feel so bad that I'm actually asking this is PUBLIC. Could my raw spinach be causing it? I used to eat spinach a lot but I've realised that I have been eating it daily. How about eggplant? I haven't eaten any of the usual gasious veggies so I just don't get it! HELP!!!!

Here is an article about low carbing and intestinal issues. It might help you. I eat a lot of raw spinach, in fact, I rarely eat it cooked and I dont' have a lot of trouble.

I have eaten raw spinach almost daily for the past 3 months and have not had any of the problems you are describing. But, everyone's body processes stuff differently so I hope you find out what is making you uncomfortable. Are you taking any new supplements or vitamins?
