digestive issues

zfitgal

Hi,
I am having some digestive issues. Its very difficult for me to go to the bathroom. I am not able to lose weight eating the calories I was eating before doing the same activity I have been doing. Anyone have anything like this? If so what helpped?

Are you getting enough fiber? Are you getting enough fat?

How many calories are you eating per day and how long has it been since you've lost weight?

Don't have a ton of experience here, but my n=1 limited experience was taking calcium supplements made me constipated. Stopped taking them and everything went back to normal.

Have you changed anything with your diet recently? added a bunch of fiber quickly or new supplements?

We can't diagnose anything but have you tried incorporating some probiotic type of foods into your meal plans.

It is a common issue with dieting. Fiber supplements and fluids usually fix the problem. Take the fiber after dinner then drink a big glass of water when you wake up. (Continued problems require medical advice.)

Fiber, fluids, fat and movement.

Are you getting enough fiber? There are 2 kinds, both are good but for regularity, look for insoluble. If you don't get a lot of fiber up it gradually.

Fluids - make sure you are staying hydrated. If your urine is dark yellow, up your fluid intake.

Dietary fat. Sometimes people start a diet and drastically reduce fat intake. Fat keeps things moving.

Movement. When I take a trip (sitting for long periods) - I have issues. If you aren't getting any regular exercise....take a walk.
