Ok so I think I placebo'ed myself into thinking it was the apples. I mean, it's an apple. C'mon! But I have to say I FELT better til around 4ish when there was some mild rumbling. Then I went to play ultimate frisbee around 8:30pm til 10:00pm. There were some sneak attacks during the game but nothing major. Then around 12:30am there was some more significant grumbling.

Now I believe it takes 6-8 hours to digest stuff so technically whatever made me feel gassy around midnight would have been eaten around 4-6pm. What did I eat? Well, I had some remaining hummus from the take out we ordered. Then half a turkey and avocado sammich. And for dinner I basically ate a bowl of cereal with soy milk on the set around 7:30pm. Now the hummus and turkey sandwich were from a restaurant so that could have affected me just cause I didn't make it myself.

Though the timetable might be off I'm starting to suspect perhaps cereal is causing this? I usually eat stuff high in fiber with a little mix of granola and some sliced strawberries in almond milk in the morning around 8am. Perhaps my body can no longer handle the fiber? Lactose intolerance makes no sense either because it's not technically milk. Also I already beat that once and if need be I'll do it again.

Now the mild gas attack at 3:30pm/4pm could only really have been caused by the cereal in the morning right? Although I did have about half an Asian Pear around 10:30am. Then later I had cereal on set which was Kashi brand. Haven't eaten that in a LONG time so that could be it.

The only thing that doesn't make sense about that is I've been eating that same breakfast for longer than 1 week and a half. I loves me some cereal, so you can image how difficult it was for me to NOT eat it this morning. Instead I ate the other half of the Asian Pear - hopefully if I get gassy I can say it's the pear but again it's not a new item to my diet.

I just realized that my love of pumpkin flavored items could be the cause. It's that time of year and I basically can't help myself especially when it comes to the fro-yo. Not gonna lie, last week I think I had some form of it just about every day. Perhaps THAT'S IT?! But again, only problem is I didn't eat that at all yesterday. Nor does it make sense in the timing per my digestive cycle.

I'm grasping at straws here and I REALLY don't want to do one of those super Hollywood things and turn to a cleanse for help. Mostly because I don't think I can handle eating nothing but lemon water for more than a day.

The mystery continues.
