Listen to your body: Raw vegetables are more laxative and may cause more gas. It smaller amounts together with a healthy slow grain like quinoa, buckwheat gorats, amaranth or millet. Soak grains, rinse thoroughly add water bring to boil and simmer for 15 minutes. Use only metamucil clear and free. Histamine may be a source of problem. Google high histamine in food and see healthyeating.Sfgate.
