Wraps and Bloating

Wanderer2010

Is it normal for your stomach to distend and stick out after a wrap for lunch? I usually fill my wraps with healthy chicken turkey tuna salad and cheese etc and drink water with it but I'm often left bloated afterwards and it feels like my stomach has a bowling ball in it, and I'm male by the way. My diet wouldn't be great lots of refined carbs but wraps seem to blow me up altogether is this to be expected ?

Different people have different reactions to food.

For example, I get severely bloated if I eat anything with raw onions in - I'll be sitting at my desk afterwards feeling exactly like you - like I have a bowling ball in me! I have no idea why. And I love them so it's a pain!

If you're reacting that badly to wraps, cut them out full stop.
Have some nice brown soda bread or similar instead - yummy and more filling than a wrap!

Hmmm, wraps are not really good for you, neither is cheese. How do you know the chicken and tuna is healthy? Maybe watch some videos on netflix on food, really helped me to open my eyes and eat better. I feel great and have lost some weight too plus no more bloated feelings

Would you care to explain why cheese is bad for you? Protein, good fats and a number of vitamins and minerals

I can't access youtube. Why would the chicken and tuna be unhealthy?

I'm sorry but that video is absolute crap made by pro-vegans, put some research into the claims made in it and you'll see why. The China study quoted has been debunked by countless studies.

And doesn't stand up to the most basic requirements of a research study in the first place. Still see or hear it quoted multiple times a year as if its some new discovery and valid.

I just try to steer clear of processed foods, which is extremely difficult to do.
