Why You May Get Constipation and Gas From Drinking Green Smoothies

By Steve Austin


How come whenever we start consuming beneficial smoothies does our body appear to react in completely differently way than we expect? I know I experienced headaches, bowel problems, and a scarcity of get up and go when I began on the green smoothie way of life about a year ago.

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.

Get more rest than normal and drink plenty of water. This will help move the contaminates through the digestive track quicker. To help with gas, don't consume high in fat snacks at the same time you drink your green smoothie. Shortly, the benefits of the more healthy eating plan will start to reveal positive results. 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 any strain. The intestinal gas may last for several months as the body continues to eliminate waste and toxins that have accumulated everywhere into many nooks and crannies. Ultimately, every thing will soon get back to normal and there won't be any obstacles.

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.
