What are Transitory Adaptation Symptoms?
A. When an individual makes significant dietary changes, many metabolic and physiologic changes also occur. An important concept to understand is that improved nutrition and supplementation may cause transitory adaptation symptoms and bodily changes that may last for a few days to several weeks. In most cases, these changes should be viewed as a positive sign that your body is responding to better nutrition. Common are gastrointestinal discomfort such as nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, bloating and gas. Headaches and transitory changes in the skin such as itching, rashes, and acne are also possible. Mucous membranes may also be temporarily affected causing bumps on the tongue or in the mouth.
