Ok this is not a pleasant topic but I need some advice. Unfortunately I had horrible cramps and diarrhea the whole Yomtov so far. So first of all I would like to know if Matza can cause this. More importantly what do you do on Pesach if you spoil your stomach? Any helpful advice is welcomed.
I believe matza can do that for some people. Also depending on what type of maror you eat that can also play a role. I don’t have any advise thouhh
When I first came to the yeshiva, there was an alter bochur who missed shachris, insisted on second dates, and wouldn’t date daughters of gioreses, and once told me you don’t need to worry about slippery slopes.
He used to say over in the name of the kotzker what is the bracha on pesach that we make with the most simcha and kavanna.
WIY -“So first of all I would like to know if Matza can cause this.”
WIY Not?
“More importantly what do you do on Pesach if you spoil your stomach? Any helpful advice is welcomed”
Immodium. I went looking in a few pharmacies in Bricktown for it Erev Yom Tom and not one had it. They had the Immodium Multi-Symptom pills, but I figured they weren’t touched because the “book” only lists Immodium AD.
Try eating Spelt , Whole Wheat or Oat Matza
It might be a wheat issue
yes. With prunes, bananas, and grapes
Try the Spelt then, Its much easier to digest
BH this year was very good, I ate only the minimum matzah required.
wiy- yes, prunes and grapes do help constipation, as does whole wheat. there is soluble and insoluble fiber, but you don’t want to only take one alone either. other sources of soluble fiber (for loose stomach) are apples, oranges, pears, cucumber, celery.
My stomach cramps actually went away this pesach, apparently I am allergic to kitniot, like sunflower seeds and popcorn…
This works for me very well. Every time you eat one whole Machine or Hand Matzah drink at least eight to sixteen ounces of plain(hopefully filtered)drinking water. The other thing that works for me is to add the juice from a lemon wedge to tepid(not hot or cold) water. Hydrating with water will help move the food gently through the digestive tract. Only add lemon juice(from the wedge)during Chol Ha Moed. Lemon Juice added to water is even better, because Lemon Juice will make the body more Alkaline and less Acidic. Eating fruits, vegetables and nuts are good for the fiber content. Always drink only lots of clean water, this will help move the food through the entire digestive tract, and hopefully prevent a sour stomach. If possible limit fizzy sodas to a minimal. WIY feel better-this is to your health. Have a great Pesach.
More ideas-Peppermint or Spearmint Tea, Green Tea, Fennel Tea.. All the teas need to be certified Kosher for Pesach obviously. Whole Ginger, or Cinnamon Squills both using a grater are also good for digestion.
Yes yes yes. It can make your stomach very upset. I know last year that I had early contractions ( was 8 months pregnant) because it “stuffed up” my stomach so much I almost had to go to the hospital on yuntif. I drank a lot of grape juice, this helps you rid your body of the waste but to me it seems like you are having trouble keeping it in! Drink a LOT of water this definitely will help, and drink it in between servings of matzah.
If it continues, you should ask your doctor, you might have IBS -irritable bowel syndrome.
git meshige- TMI
some people get a loose stomach and some people get constipated. i think its very important to try and eat a lot of the same foods that you eat all year long, such as fruits and veggies…this should help to keep things going well inside. also , make sure to drink lots of water. that helps flush the system too.
Or in my case, chocolate and other unhealthy foods because I am allergic to most healthy food.
