I train so far 1 year, gained so far 11 kilos which is 22 pounds more or less  At the beginning when i was still in school i tried to eat frequently i had about 4-5 meals per day, and it worked great. Now im making a gap year before i go to university which means i have plenty of time to eat. Again i sticked to 4-5 meals a day, but because of waking up to late ( i sleep from 2 AM - 11,12 AM ) means less time for eating, more stuffing it in. Since im making that gap year i have stomach problems, my stomach aches quite often and i have a lot more diarrhea. When i went to school i sticked to High GI Food like white pasta white rice etc. I havent had any problems at all. Now i rather switched to low GI carbs and have more problems the further more i increased my daily protein intake.im 1 metre 70 , im 61 kilos now, 20 years old and ecto-morph, body fat percentage 7.4 When i went to school i was eating rather High Gi food, i didnt count my daily carb intake only my protein intake ( i had no idea i know.. xD ) Now i rather stick to low gi food, i count my carb intake, protein and calorie intake 300 gr carbs/ 120-140 gr. protein / calories 2400-2700 My question does it make a difference eating all these meals within such a short time? Does it make a difference in my case if i stick to low GI, or maybe because of the fibres? Or is it just something else that is wrong and i should go to the doctor? Well i anyway go, but i think id rather ask you guys with the knowledge |

| Why are you sticking to low GI foods? Do you understand how the glycemic index works? Are you diabetic? Have you been tested for gluten intolerance? -EK | ||

| Im not diabetic and im not gluten intolerant =) Both tested, thats why im aksin myself. Im not allergic to products that contain gluten in general, i mean white pasta does, but i only showed a reaction after low GI food like whole grain products. I know how the GI Index works.. well more or less. But at the end i dont think that makes such a big difference. What do you think? | ||

| That's why I asked- it makes such a miniscule difference it's what I would call inconsequential. Everything you need to know about the glycemic index can be summed up in the folowing two statements: 1. It was designed to be used by diabetics, but the American Diabetic Association doesn't use it because it's not a good tool. It's not a good tool because of things like... 2. It rates ice cream as a low GI food. Enough said. -EK |

Mhhhh that makes sense, but the only thing i want is getting rid of having a stomach that aches the whole time plus not having diarrhea because of certain foods if thats the case  |

| I would see your physician. No one here is qualified to diagnose you. -EK | ||

| heheh i just went to the doctor his conclusion was actually that i have a very sensitive stomach, and that if i eat stuff like whole grain products and a lot of vegis that that bloat the stomach like beans, could cause diarrhea in my case. So he said i should avoid whole grain pasta and beans and stuff. So i should stick again to white rice, white pasta and replace some of the green vegis with other vegis But all the same thanks for your help :P |
