Default Finding the right carb balance?

I'm posting not for myself (I still have a ways to go) but for my fiance, who is in maintenance. He looks and feels great but as he's added more carbs to his diet (mostly in the form of increased veggies), he's found that he experiences stomach cramping and gas in a way that he hasn't since before he went LC.
I suggested to him that he should consider going back to the way he was eating during OWL and add some fruit to his diet every other day. He's willing to try that but I'm interested in hearing if anyone else has experienced stomach problems from returning to a more "balanced" diet and how you've coped with it. If he goes back to OWL-eating with me, he'll go from looking "fit" to looking "skinny" and we don't want that. Any helps, suggestions, or advice would be much appreciated!
Have a great day!
Michelle
