What Causes Stomach Ache After Consuming Roughage?
I recently started drinking a smoothie daily using a banana, apple, pineapple, kale, spinach, strawberries .....I previously add almost no vegetables and fruits.... This drink is giving me stomach upset- does it take time to become accustomed to the roughage?

Hi thanks for asking question.
You have not mentioned about your previous diet.
If protein diet taken for long time and then sudden fruit and fiber diet taken then it takes some time for adaptation.
By the way along with above mentioned fruits and green leafy vegetables drink more water also.And ya some light exercise or moderate office work is beneficial for healthy bowel habit.
So no worry , you will be accustomed within almost few days.
Avoid smoking also.
I hope my suggestion will help you.
