Recovering from a weekend of bad nutrition
We traveled about a week and a half ago, during that trip my nutrition wasn’t my normal. If I had been more proactive I could certainly have planned better, because we shared a rented house, it was easier to eat all together. It didn’t take long for the results of the bad nutrition to start to show as bloating and general malaise set in. Initially I thought it might be due to water retention, two days after I cleaned up my diet, increasing my hydration, the ponchy stomach was still there. Today is the first morning that I notice the change back to my flatter stomach, nine days after my last bad meal. Nine days seemed to be a long time but then how much damage must I have done to my digestion to keep the bloat going. My breakfast of yogurt, granola and fruit hadn’t changed but the remaining meals certainly did. The worse thing that I believe I ate was the chowder as it was creamed and very salty. The fact that I might have killed off some of the good bacteria which impacted digestion I find interesting but not something I want to reexamine anytime soon.
*Update: I no longer eat grains for breakfast as I’ve discovered, over time, that it does in fact mess up my digestion.
