Hi guys!
I really need some advice, I've been vegetarian for 18 years now, and I was almost always constipated on that lifestyle, but over the past 8 months I've been trying to go Rawtill4. Each time it starts off really well. I'm eating 2 smoothies a day (usually mango/berry/pineapple and banana or spinach, kiwi and banana) or overnight oats when I'm working 7am-9pm, sometimes I snack on dehydrated fruits (mango and papaya) or fresh fruit and then a pasta, potato or rice homemade evening meal.
I see almost instantly an improvement in my mood, energy, motivation etc. Then all of a sudden I get horrible stomach ache, bad gas, occasionally sulphur burps and diarrhea, making it impossible to do sport, because I can barely walk with the pain. Has anybody else experienced this? Is it a form of detoxing and inevitable or are there steps that I can take to avoid this and make the change-over finally stick this time?
Thanks for you help!

I'll have a look at that, thank you!
this is a nice chart
if ever having trouble with digestion, eat more simply, try mono meals, check your hydration by seeing if you pee 10 times a day.
How much water are you adding to smoothies? Sometimes too much water with food can cause an upset stomach. Also, those fruit smoothies sound like a mess of incompatible fruits. Read up on food combining to see if that will help.
I think I add about a cup, but perhaps that's not enough. I'll check that out, thanks!
