Anyone else have stomatch issues while taking SD? My stomatch has been messed up since I started taking it. :frustrate
Not sure if this will help, but on 1-AD I had cramps upon waking in the morning, that only lasted throughout my 1-AD cycle, not sure why???Gbart said:naww cant say ive heard of this have you changed your diet i know in the past if i up protein alot or change my diet after a long time on i will have a little stomach trouble. But that just lasts until i guess i get used to it. sorry bro dont know what else to say anydody else speak from experience or hearsay on this subject?????
I had a terrible time on SD with stomach distention and the shits... Try some Acidophillus and get a fiber supplement. I also used ginger root with every meal, took digestive enzymes, and made sure I thouroughly cooked my oats before downing them in a shake or otherwise..workin2005 said:I was the same way on 1-ad. May not be the SD. May just be getting sick, just thought I'd ask. :whiner:
Sure man.workin2005 said:Thanks for the feed back! I actually just bought some Acidopholis today and am waiting for my digestive enzymes to arrive in the mail.
Were you taking SD with or without food?
Pardon this question... but why does this matter?Anarchy939 said:...made sure I thouroughly cooked my oats before downing them in a shake or otherwise..
Yeah. I noticed that when I used to use 1-1/2c of raw oats in my post-workout shake, later in the day I would get this feeling like there was a boulder in my lower stomach area, followed by painful cramping with putrid flatulence.. Let's just say it wasn't very enjoyable (for me or anyone around.) Ever since I started cooking them in the microwave first, those symptoms seemed to greatly diminish. I guess some have this problem with oats and some don't.workin2005 said:If your having digestion problems, eating oatmeal that isn't fully cooked can really upset your stomatch, and your body will have a tough time absorbing it. If its fully cooked, its MUCH easier for the stomatch to break down for digestion.
I gained about 16lbs in 3 weeks, kept 13 through PCT, but lost all but 2lbs in the long run due to a family problem.workin2005 said:Anarchy, What were your results on SD?
Me off topic too, but just thought I would mention: I get toasted oat bran from Trader Joes, toasted = cooked, has more fiber, more protein, already chopped pretty fine and tastes good. I throw it in protein shakes or add some hot water for some awesome hot cereal.workin2005 said:If your having digestion problems, eating oatmeal that isn't fully cooked can really upset your stomatch, and your body will have a tough time absorbing it.

Yeah, that's some good stuff. I use it all the time! It has 23g of carbs/serving with 6g of fiber, and 7g of protein. Tastes good too.bpmartyr said:Me off topic too, but just thought I would mention: I get toasted oat bran from Trader Joes, toasted = cooked, has more fiber, more protein, already chopped pretty fine and tastes good.

Ah, thanks for the answer. I typically eat a bowl of oats in the morning and I just slice up a banana in it and pour milk on it, like cold cereal. I've never had any trouble but will keep your comment in mind if I ever have an issue where it might apply.workin2005 said:If your having digestion problems, eating oatmeal that isn't fully cooked can really upset your stomatch, and your body will have a tough time absorbing it.

I'm glad to hear someone else mention this... my abdomen is completely distended right now... I look silly. I'm taking 40mgs of SD per day (20 x 2). Through the process of elimination, I feel pretty sure that the SD is the culprit. TI've also got some mild, seemingly continuous cramps...
