Many times when we begin doing something beneficial for our body, it will respond completely differently for a while than the way we anticipate it will. Such was the case when I started drinking green smoothie about a year ago. For the first several weeks I was irritable, suffered from headaches, and had bowel issues. I also experienced an initial decrease in my energy levels. I was not a happy camper.
Flatulence and constipation are two things that could initially happen from drinking smoothies. There tends to be consequences linked with change, and our bodies are no different. It has needed the raw food nutrition we are providing it for a very long time, and now that it is getting it, our body is can concentrate on cleaning itself of all the toxins and sludge that's been accumulating for decades, probably decades. The result of all this cleaning from within is what you're experiencing.
Constipation is normally the result of the digestive tract beginning to dissolve and eject toxic materials a hardened coating that has accumulated on the walls for years. With thirty feet to clean (length of the intestine and colon), there is probably a lot of sludge that needs to be eliminated. Again, you will discover lots of causes for constipation and intestinal gas. Fortunately, this won't last forever though it might take a while to clean all the chips, pizza, and burgers out of the system.
To help move everything through you systems quicker, drink a lot of water, eight 8 Oz servings a day if possible, and get plenty of rest. Very soon, the advantages of the fruit and green smoothie diet will start to yield good effects. Without being too graphic your bowel movements will eventually start to be more frequent (as they should since we eat three meals a day) and be without much effort. The passing of gas may remain for a little while as the body continues to eliminate waste and toxins that have accumulated throughout the body. At some point, every thing will be okay and there won't be any setbacks.
Your body didn't get this way overnight and it won't repair itself overnight either. I understand quite a few of the side effects when beginning to drink fruit smoothies seem kind of annoying. Simply think of it as a housecleaning party and there are surely going to be lots of little messes made and dust kicked during the cleanup. However, in the end (pardon the pun), you'll understand the struggles where all worthwhile once everything start to function better than they have in a long time. It will be worthy of the few months of discomfort.
