RE: Fasting Journal : Off plan, Day 10
Hmm, that doesn't sound like you're digesting it well at all! Bloating, burping...

Yes, I meant that my bowels seem fine. No gas or diarrhea. Obviously there is something going on with my actual stomach though. I had been thinking Bile insufficiency or other gall bladder like problems. But I did a couple of weeks of using prepared bile salts with my meals and that didn't change things. I still take bitter herbs in my water just in case and I do have another ultrasound on the 25th to check for gall stones. I don't have any gall bladder pain, but it's something my doctor was happy to check given my history.
The salad meal is fairly fatty due to eggs, avocado and my dressing, but all my meals are fatty and I don't have problems with them, which argues against gall bladder. This problem has only really been apparent in the last four months or so, and the main change is that, because it's winter here, I have been using baby spinach leaves from the store to replace my homegrown kale and dark lettuces. Maybe a little more oxalates than I should have? It's something I haven't done in previous years.
That's not something that can be reasoned out, so exclusionary testing is what I'm going to be trying next. First a few days of the half sized servings to see if it is just a quantity thing. I've really been pushing the size for potassium. Maybe I'm simply swallowing too much air.
