with "going" to the bathroom? I had a friend say it's the nuts I'm eating "backing" me up but I'm not sure. There are days when I go a good bit and others where it hurts to even try. I know it's not the best question but I'm curious if anyone else has this problem.

    How much water are you drinking? Upping my water intake sorted me out :smile:

    I do sometimes, but I'm not sure what causes it. I find though that eating a whole cucumber makes my stools looser the next day. Sorry if TMI.

    dri 10 plus glasses of water a day so I know it isn't that. I just hope it passes and I don't like cucumbers sadly. lol

    More H2O, less salt. Yogurt, sometimes two servings a day to get things 'moving', or tomato juice(low salt). Fiber too. You also need a certain amount of good fat in your diet.

    I always get enough protein so I changed that setting to fiber and will monitor it. I drink 10 plus glasses of water a day and eat pretty well I think. I also have been sick this week

    Thank you. I was watching fiber before and doing well. I switched it :)

    Make sure you get enough fat along with the fiber since you are getting enough protein. Protein can dry you out.

    Try adding in some extra water.

    Are you eating a lot of bananas or cheeses? Those things can cause issues.

    5oz prune juice will help (little can). Not my favorite, but can help a lot without it being too much. Only do one can every few days though if one can doesn't work.

    How about some peaches? Or pears? Or prunes? -- More fiber! Your water intake sounds good, so aim for fiber and one of those lovely make you go fruits. =)

    My diar is open and today I know is bad but it's a day with my family. Look through the week. I exercise, drink a lot of water, try not to "cheat" as they say and do my best with my macros.

    I drink a LOT of water, eat a lot of fiber, veggies, fresh fruits, ect. When I upped my protein I had the same problem, I had to add 4-5 prunes a night and a stool softener. Have to keep things moving along!:laugh:
