Answers:
You have a lot of very solid food with nothing to soften it up. The idea is that fiber doesn't digest and moves out of your body -picking stuff up along the way- so basically you have a big lump of indigestible food sitting in your stomach.
Have some milk, or at least yogurt, with your cereal.
It's good that you're staying hydrated, but I've found that milk -cows milk works best, soy milk is more like water in this respect- is the only think that really works on that kind of thing. My personal theory is that you're giving your stomach more to digest so those stomach acids break down the fibery food a little more than they otherwise would, but I have no science to back that up.Health Question & Answer
