Hi there,

I'm still quite new to the superhero thing. Last night I made a red lentil dahl (suggested by someone on this site, I think), but instead of serving it with brown rice, I made TKD's Quinoa, Basil and Pinenuts. Also made the Plum soup for dessert.

I feel fairly wretched and bloated this morning. I'm thinking there may have been too much grain and not enough vegie? I was trying to use up ingredients in my fridge (and there weren't a whole lot of greens in there yesterday)

Has anyone else had this happen? Is there such a thing as too many grains??

Would love to hear any advice.

Cheers

Did you read the part in Alicia's, "Kind Diet" on "Beans and Fartiness"? If not, do! It is great and very helpful. There is a special process such as soaking beans, cooking them with kombu and spooning out the foam when they cook so that you don't end up with bad gas. I also suggest beano, which is a natural anti-gas pill that you eat a few minutes before your first bite of food.

From what I understand beans and grains are suggested for complete protein, so I don't think you made a mistake in your servings.

Hope this helps!
