    Hi Everybody. I am on day 4 of the diet and am struggling with terrible stomach cramps. I have been drinking lots of water and black tea and getting plenty of fiber. I feel like I have a bug but as it started the same time as the diet I’m not sure. Has anyone else had these symptoms?

    I still feel hungry everyday but I can deal with that if I can get rid of the cramps. Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    My cramps were from terrible constipation … i took some codeine with aspirin to stop the pain from cramps … of course the codeine did not improve the constipation.

    I’ve read in other threads that it might be carbohydrate withdrawal … we call it the carb flu … you could put that in the Search tab … top right … will get tons of hits.

    Thanks for that. I will look it up. I’m not constipated though… yet 🙂

    Thank goodness … because you could take some kind of pain pill for the cramps. Hope you never are constipated … because it’s a real BUMMER@!
