Bloating and Pressure

[valves582]

Just started adding queal to my daily routine and have been experiencing alot of pressure in my lower abdomen a few hours after eating queal. Have anyone else had this issue?

Hello @valves582,

I'm sorry to hear about that!

It sounds like your body is having some trouble adjusting to the amount of fibre in Queal meals.
How high in fibre was your diet before using Queal?

Queal has exactly 33% of the Recommended Daily Intake of fibre in each meal, but most of the general population actually eats significantly less fibre than that, making the change sometimes a bit of a jump for the body to readjust to.

I'd recommend starting out with no more than 1 meal of Queal per day until your body adjusts to the change.

That could take about a week or so.

I'm not entirely sure on my fibre intake but I would say that my diet the past year has been poor. I'll let you know how I feel in a week!

Make sure you drink water before and after eating a Queal meal. You can also increase the amount of water used per meal by a bit without affecting the texture. And try not to down it all in a few minutes - space it apart like a normal 700 calorie meal - 15 to 20 minutes.

How is it treating you now?

It took about 10 days but I no longer have bloating and I eat as many shakes as I feel like now.
