bethben Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 So, I'm trying to introduce more vegetables into our diet and tonight we tried spaghetti squash with spaghetti sauce. My 15 year old is in the kitchen burping up a storm. There is an ozone hole being created over our house as I type. :glare: My stomach is feeling a little gassy also. Spaghetti squash is supposed to be low gas producing. What is happening here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My3Munchkins Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I love spaghetti squash but always feel bloated after eating it :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklyUnicorn Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Huh..no clue. I have never noticed any sort of reaction to that. Since you are introducing new veggies, maybe it's just the more veggies in general? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFwife Claire Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Ah, this is interesting. I'm doing a Whole30 this month, and at the first week, I made my homemade spaghetti sauce for my family to eat with noodles, while I tried it with spaghetti squash. It was the first time for me to eat spaghetti squash since I was a preteen, and I was SO bloated and gassy-feeling the next 2 days! I also wondered if it were just the general increase in veggies, but it was definitely right after eating the spaghetti squash, and I haven't had any problems since then.

City Mouse Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I had spaghetti squash with a homemade sauce for dinner last night with no such side effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Girls' Mom Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Could be the veggie increase in general, or it could just be how you guys react to the squash. I'm in week one of Whole30, myself, with a few extra days of "mostly" W30. The uptake in veggies has definitely increased gas issues. But in the past, I've found it is usually temporary and decreases after my body adjusts. Avocados are the worst offender for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandragood1 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Any chance the squash wasn't cooked all the way? I have noticed that the squash needs to be soft-ish or I have problems. Just because you can shred it doesn't mean it's fully cooked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
