Question

What does everyone take to break down the protein? I take super enzymes, tums, gas x but my stomach is literally killing me. The first time I did the program in 2016, the foods did not bother me at all  something is definitely different with the products.  

Answer 1

This happened to me. I choose products that did not have gluten in them and have not had any issues. Also am not gluten intolerant either. My centre gave me a list of the products can have.

@lu60 thank you, I’m going to ask my coach

Answer 2

What products are you choosing?  

Comments

@grannie wafers, mug cake, pancakes, vanillas squares, choc drink mix, chips, can’t think of anything else. I eat more then 50 % of the products. all over the place

@suppurate560 see if you notice more of an issue with specific products, but I personally find that some of the sweeter products cause be issues. Most likely because of the sweeteners. Also certain vegetables will increase gas too. Some people also think that soy causes some issues. You could try anodontia those products or at least check the ones you are using to see if they make a bigger impact.  

Answer 3

I cannot eat any of the products with sugar alcohol or soy. Maybe you are sensitive to something in the products?

@et0 what products do you eat?  

---

Premixed drinks (vanilla and chocolate) trail mix, rotini and the mug cake. Very limited supply but it works

@et0 awesome thanks, I can probably make that work as well

Answer 4

Try enzymes if you haven’t yet! I know myself I am sensitive to fructooligosaccarides. Maybe try avoiding products with this and see if that helps, it can cause gas in some

Comments

Crystal, do you know which products have fructooligosaccarides? I tried eating all gluten free in the last 2 days and still having the same issues, I take 2 big enzymes with every meal and my stomach is still crazy with gas and pain

I know the salted caramel clusters do and some of the restricted products (the bars). I’m not sure off hand which ones specifically but it will say on the ingredient label. Some probiotics have it as well (not IP one though). I’d try eliminating foods with these for about two weeks and see if that resolves. This is also naturally found in some foods like onion and garlic which cause that sulphur type of gas in some people who can’t break it down. I suggest reading about it and avoid the foods that contain it from IP and in your vegetable choices and see if that helps. Some are more sensitive to this then others

---

Thank you, I have to do a bunch of research on this, the products were not like this when I started out a few years ago. I did buy 2 boxes of the new clusters on Monday and yes as soon as i eat even 2, I get the bad gas almost immediately. very uncomfortable at work. as if this diet is not hard enough.
