Blending vegetables:Am I eating (drinking) too much fiber??

Mark JMember

Hello Everyone!!

I have been drinking about too vegetable smoothies (lots of Kale, cucumber,1/2 apple, bean sprouts etc) for the past couple of weeks and my bm's have been a little painful. I don't know if my system is adjusting, but I just don't feel like
I normally do. It's almost like pouchitis but without the other ugly side effects. I am worried that too much fiber can cause a problem, maybe I should just juice instead of blending??

Thanks for any advise!!

It could be a little too much for now, try deviding 1 smootie into 2 and see if reducing the dosage helps..bean sprouts can be very gassy and so can the mix of veggies...you just have to play with it and measure your results.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll probably start straining some of the fiber out. It seems like fiber would help with watery bm's but I guess too much will also have an adverse effect.
