Take small portions.: Increasing fiber intake can lead to stomach upset and gas in some cases. I would suggest to continue taking this healthy food, but instead of eating eating too much at one time, take small portions more frequently and see if it helps.

Not used to it: Changes in diet often require adjustments, and should be made slowly. Kale is difficult to digest and your stomach is not used to working that hard. Changes in diet and result in all types of stomach ailments. If you are not having pain, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea just give it some time. Try eating smaller amounts for a while. The greens are great for your overall health and well-being.

If it hurts a little take simethicone or Beeno with those types of veggies. or with bloating. Good for you! You will be healthier happier, and feel very virtuous every day. because you are superior! But you could try increasing amt slower.
