Have you dramatically increased coconut products? If so, it could be that (it takes a body a little bit to adjust to coconut products or at least it did me). Did you totally eliminate diary then add it back? Or have you been eating diary the whole time? If you have been eating diary the whole time and rice is your only recent change, you likely have an intolerance to rice. I do recommend everyone cut diary for 30 days and see what happens when you reintroduce it! Good luck!

I just looked at your diary and I'm not sure where all this fat is that you think you are consuming,to me it looks like your fat is very low.
Also,your calories are very low for someone who is breastfeeding and even for someone who is not.
I would think maybe something is not agreeing with you but not sure what by looking at your diary.
Do you drink a lot of coffee?Coffee can affect my toilet time.
Also,if you have been increasing things like cabbage,broccoli or cauliflower,this can have the same effect on the stomach..lots of cramps and loose stools..
I would say that if you were taking a lot of coconut oil orally(in tea/coffee/off a spoon)this could be the culprit but I don't see that from looking at your diary.
People can be carrying viruses with out actually having symptoms so you could have come in contact with someone who had one.
Hope it all passes soon

I'm wondering whether you may have an issue with FODMAPs. I had many of the same issues as you - which strangely never seemed to be an issue before I went primal - possibly because I am eating far more vegetables now. I think it was a combination of the lower carb (less bulk) plus some suspect vegetable choices. I blamed coconut oil and lower carb eating for a while before I read something about these FODMAP thingies and tried eliminating them to see what happened. I now have a fairly good idea of which ones I can and can't eat - I can eat a lot of them with no difficulty, but there are a few that have a really bad effect on me. The other thing I have noticed is that there seems to be a lot of conflicting information about what are "safe" foods. I just eliminated all the veg for a few days and then started reintroducing one at a time starting with my favourites. I'm trying to lose weight at the moment so I haven't done much in the way of experimentation with fruit.

Did you start taking any new probiotics? It can take 6 weeks for microflora to readjust.

Try tracking total fat so that you can be sure that you are getting enough. 50% of calories would be a bare minimum though I would recommend more. There is no reason to track saturated fat and no need to worry about going over it either. The whole "saturated fat is bad" thing is nothing but a big LIE.

There is no reason to blame fat for loose stools either and I'm guessing that your fat consumption is a bit on the low side.

There could be so many things going on…. I get loose stools every once in awhile and who knows why (like yesterday) and I also get it when I am readjusting to a ketogenic lifestyle after eating too much sugar. Usually I think it's a gut flora issue and you could try eating lots of fermented foods and bone broth.

If the issue persists and you can't find a reason I'd recommend isolating foods and reintroducing them, maybe as described by the GAPS diet.

I don't worry about fat intake. My macros are set to make site
I get enough carbs and protein, I'm not fussed about going over on fat. I have to be careful not to go too low on carbs as I am breastfeeding so need to aim for 75-100g carbs a day. I also used mark sissons formula for protein intake. The rest of my calories is mainly fats like avocado, coconut, nuts etc. certainly not limiting my fat intake :-)

I have been a lot better this afternoon so hopefully it is settling down now :-)

How do you know that you are getting enough fat when you are not tracking it? By tracking saturated fat and aiming for that goal you may unconsciously not be eating the total fat you and your baby need. You certainly need more carbs than someone like me but you won't hurt yourself or your baby by being low here and there. (I think your goal is reasonable of course.) Honestly, you won't. I live with Inuit and prior to grains and sugar their diet was fat based and, except for times of food scarcity, they were the epitome of robust health.

The fat is CRITICAL, carbs are not. Looking at your diary, even though you are not tracking total fat, I can see that your fat intake is very, very low. So you aren't worrying about it, but you are eating very little. That's why tracking it would help; you would see just how low it is. Again, you do NOT need to limit saturated fat! You and your baby need natural saturated fats in abundance.

The second most important thing to track is sugar.

As mentioned, your calories are often very, very low for someone breast-feeding, or even just looking after children.
