Question: Can a change in diet cause illness?

(Posted by: caitiejx36 on 2010-03-10 16:19:40)

Within the last week I've made some serious changes to my diet. I've taken out the fast food, sugars, soda, junk food, etc. and added more fruits, veggies, and overall healthy foods. I also signed up for and started going to the gym. Last night I felt feverish and had a slight headache along with some stomach cramps. today, the cramps have gotten worse and they are accompanied with diarrhea and migraine headache. Are these normal side effects of such a drastic change in diet so quickly? how long should these symptoms last and are there any ways I can help ease the transition?

Yea it can't make u ill but it can give the affects of it because u have got rid of sugar and that is what u used to eat but it is just because your body is adjusting to ur new diet . it can sometimes make u get spots, rashes and other things but don't worry this has happened to me so i know what u mean but once ur body has got used to not having as much sugar and fat and more healthy things put in it ur body will go back the normal, your body is just releasing some more of the bad things in there quicker = ] hope this helps
