I over ate

[reev21]

Hey guys looking for some advice.

I had a big meal today to put on some weight as im severely underweight - it was brown rice and boiled chicken. It was about 850 calories worth of food.

20 minutes after eating I had SEVERE abdominal pain, it hurt so much.. after waddleing around for an hour or two in pain that had me hunched over praying for it to stop it subsided.

9 hours later the pains gone but my stomach feels sore/achey.

I'm worried if its going to hurt my intestines as all that food travels to the exit and if ill be constipated or something in a few days.

Does anyone have a similar experience? Or does anyone have advice?

That’s an awful lot of rice to eat in one meal and if you ate it quickly it would cause pain brown rice is very heavy but soon brakes down so no lasting effects. Try cutting your portion size in half .

Will do!

I would say have smaller high calories meals. I'm much better at smaller meals.

I thought so too

I agree with the smaller portion higher calories comment. I definitely would not recommend eating 5 times a day as your small intestine needs a 5 hour break to clean itself. The best thing I did was cut out snacks. I too lost weight from IBS. 2 stone, taking me down to 6 and a half stone. Sending best of luck to you.

Brown Rice is the culprit ..stay away from All the Brown family ..Brown Rice , Brown Bread , Brown pasta , Brown cereals ..etc

We IBS sufferers can't tolerate the high fibre content in the Brown foods ..it causes pain , spasms, bloating then eventually the dreadful Diahrrea!!

just replace them with the white version and eat less quantities of food but more frequent with 2 to 3 hours intervals, like 5 small meals / snacks , instead of 2 large meals in a day .

Hope this helps ..it takes time , trial and error until you adapt to the new system ..Good Luck 🌹

I felt I was fine on white rice pasta etc but was worried about constipation so I swapped to brown... this could explain alot >_<

I totally agree with you. I tried brown rice because I was advised to. I ate it once. Though I have a memory problem, I surely remember never to eat brown. I can remember the intensity of the pain, but I promise you, it had traumatised me. So keep away and thatnk you for the advice, I thought I was weird!

I mean some GPs have advised me to also eat it. No, no, no!
