Indigestion withdrawal symptom?

    Hi


    I started cutting sugar on Monday, and since Tuesday I have been plagued by horrible indigestion, yesterday from 10am to 11pm (when I finally managed to fall asleep)!  Looks like it's going to be the same today.  Can't concentrate on anything because of it.  


    I would say it's coincidental that I have indigestion the same week as starting but I had a similar problem when I tried to go Paleo this time last year, and it was a big factor in my giving that up after 6 weeks.  Could it really a withdrawal symptom kicking as early as day 2?


    However giving up sugar is not nearly as strict as going Paelo, so... has anyone else had this problem?    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Well I thought I would update, the indigestion went away a couple of days later.  I went to the doctor and after a brief examination she told me it didn't appear to be an indicator of anything truly dreadful so that put my mind at rest.  We put it down to stress and a large amount of sugary junk food consumed the weekend prior to my new fructose free regimen.  


    To be on the safe side she ordered some blood tests, and it will be interesting to see how those results change over time.

    Looking on the bright side, the indigestion made me feel like I didn't want to eat at all, so in a weird way it might have helped the withdrawal process along a bit.  I have been saying no to sugar without regret since Friday.


    Cheers
