    Clean eating tends to back me up... I assume it's because there's more nutrients for the body to absorb, so it possibly is taking longer for the digestion process... but when I go out and have a free day, I'll come home and run straight to the bathroom and drop a mean deuce.

    Could be worse. I'm usually pretty high in protein which not only makes you gassy, but people standing 50 feet from you know that you're gassy. X-D

    The way your body loses weight is through excrement. It is a good thing that you are going often. I wouldn't change a thing!!! You will start to shed those pounds and feel lighter and more energetic if you're going that often.

    :huh:

    Since changing your food choices has anyone had problems with "bowel movements?"

    I feel like i am constantly going to the bathroom like 3+ times a day and i've also noticed i am extremely gassy as well. I don't know if this could be a fiber issue since i am almost always over on fiber. It's bad enough i am peeing constantly due to increased water intake but i didn't expect to be going as much as i am in that area as well. Anyone going through this?

    Since I read your thread and someone told me I was too low(thanx by the way) I did some googling and spotted the exact answer to your question(I think) per wikipedia:

    "Disadvantages of a diet high in soluble fiber is the potential for significant intestinal gas production and bloating, including malodorous flatulence with fecal incontinence."
  • youn might want to limit "gassy" veggies, like broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes & brussel sprouts. see if that helps
