Why does broccoli suddenly tear my stomach apart!

I love broccoli more than PRACTICALLY ANYTHING. I used to eat a head of it for dinner if I felt the urge. It is so good. For the first 20 years of my life, it was my staple food. I ate it more than probably anything else! Often, too.

Anyhow, I moved from Pennsylvania to Colorado in January and since then, if I eat more than 4 or 5 pieces of broccoli, I feel like I’m dying. I get so bloated its unbearable. It ruins my night and I can barely function because it feels like someone has just kicked me in the gut. So am I to believe that the move or the altitude has made my stomach more sensitive to certain things?

Also, after downing a meal of chinese food last night which was spicy and included an average amount of broccoli (I probably ate 8 or 9 pieces?) I, for the first time in my life, experienced heart burn. It kept me up all night and it was awful. As soon as I laid down it came back. I don’t know how people deal with it.

So, anyhow, whats the correlation? Is there are rhyme or reason to this or is it simply that suddenly broccoli is tough on my stomach?

HELP! I MISS IT.
