How's your Poo???

cupcakesplz

hi
Yes how's your Poo?
I only ask because mine has changed since starting 3 weeks ago.
I was going every day. A nice clean poo daily always felt great.
But these past 3 weeks I have been going twice or once a week and they are not nice clean one!

Is this normal?
Was your Poo like this too????

"Clean..." poo?

Anyway, whenever you change your eating habits, it's likely your elimination will change as well. Try adding in some fiber.

No change for me. Did you make a drastic change in what foods you eat? That can create some issues until your system adjusts.

Yes fibre sounds like a plan

Lots of veggies and less bread

Didn't look at your diary but when a lot of people start they cut to much fat from their diet and have issues. I know I did. Overall I greatly improved in this area after I cut out a lot of processed foods which were a staple prior to doing this.

Mine didnt really change.

But then I didnt really change my foods either - just ate basically the same ones, but less of them.

Yes, this^^.
The change is probably down to changing the foods you're eating.
More Fibre in your diet will definitely help.

That would do it. All of those veggies have loads of fiber. One of the best ways to get going again if you have had trouble doing so is to eat a huge salad. Cleans you right out.

I'm basically eating the same foods only less of them also but I've also added more fruits and veggies and I think the added fiber has been a benefit! Everything has been coming along nice and easy so that's an added benefit for me.

Sounds like you're constipated. Drink lots of water and eat fiber nutrient food.

ETA: Are you taking iron supplements?

No

Changes in what goes in are going to change what comes out.

Make sure you are getting enough fiber, and make sure you are staying hydrated.

No change in the type of food I consumed. No change in elimination.

Make sure you're getting enough fat in your diet, along with plenty of fiber and water. Find the right combo of those and you'll be golden

If you've drastically dropped your calories, it could be that. Just the amount of food you eat has an effect on pooping. Anorexics are infamous for trouble pooping. They lie around, starving, not getting much exercise and they eat next to nothing. So, they have trouble pooping. Sooo many if them start taking laxatives just to be able to go. Very dangerous. Do go there!

If you're not eating enough fiber, it could be that. Fiber is helpful in that area. Fruits and veggies have good amounts of fiber. If you don't have them in your diet and begin including them, you may be happily surprised at how helpful they are in that area. Many people find that dates and prunes help them poop.

It could also be unrelated to your diet. There is no possible way we could know.

Call the doctor. If you aren't eating a balanced diet with a normal amount of healthy foods, start doing that.

Drink water.

Get daily exercise.

Good luck!!!

I'm also quite constipated even though I eat a lot of fiber. Turns out I upped my protein by a lot and cut back too much on the fat. I'm eating more fat again and everything is fine.

I would suggest to change your MFP settings to see how much fiber you are getting and drink a lot of water.

I would love to be the doctor whose patient calls whenever there's a poo-related change.

Cha-ching!

Google the term "Bristol stool chart" and this might help with your 'situation'.

I was eating a ton of fruit and drinking a lot of water an I have "poo" issues. I'm on a very low carb diet so the fruit is decreasing a lot. It sucks and can get very uncomfortable. I have to take a lot of laxatives for satisfaction. Not fun.

dinosaurparty

Haha you're not alone! Mine is the same I only seem to be able to have healthy poos when my diet is not-so-healthy. I'm also suddenly gassier than normal? It's super lame.

I'm not sure how to fix it. I eat fruits and veggies (not starchy ones) with every meal, and I'm paying really close attention to my water intake. Maybe our bodies just need time to readjust?

I had a similar issue when I recently changed my diet for medical reasons. Fiber was the key, 35 grams a day keeps me clean and regular. I added Chia seeds to my nightly salad if I was running low on fiber.
