Abdominal Cramps

Cellulose can cause abdominal cramps in some individuals, particularly at higher doses. The cramps are likely due to increased fiber content affecting digestion and intestinal motility.

Abdominal cramps are characterized by painful muscle contractions in the abdominal area. These cramps can range in intensity from mild discomfort to sharp, debilitating pain. They may be accompanied by bloating, gas, and changes in bowel habits. In the context of cellulose consumption, these cramps are believed to be caused by the increased fiber content and its effect on the digestive system, potentially leading to increased gas production or altered intestinal motility.
