up your fibers0

Since I've been dieting on here.......every other day has been common........when I was a gym rat.....2 or 3 times a day.....idk what's going on with my colon......no pain or discomfort0

I tend to have the same issue. I was told by my doctor that this could be my regular schedule. Anything between 3 X a day and 3 X a week is considered "normal." I also eat a lot of fiber, but it doesn't have much effect. I've had good luck with adding 1 tbs. of chia seeds to my oatmeal, yogurt, or if I have peanut butter on toast.0

always been every other day or just recently?0

If you're dieting, if you've cut far back on your calories, you may just not have as much to "get rid of" so to speak.0

I cut pb out of my diet.....it was a cause of my weight gain0 -
Common when reducing caloric intake. Drink more water, eat more fruit and veg.0

I've found that increasing fiber and fat (OMG! yes, fat) will help you with that.
Oh, and drink plenty of water

if it is only the PB you have cut then it must be something else - IMO as long as you don't feel bloated, cramping or just generally not well I wouldn't be so concerned.... at the end of it you still going!0

Wow.....fat????........hmmmm0 -
second the fruit and veggies motion - be a bit selective where there are more fibers!0

After surgery my movements went to every other day. I worried about it but I was told this might be my "new normal". There are different kinds of fiber (soluble/insoluble). If you don't take enough water with the soluble fiber it can bung you up.
I find even a teaspoon of flax oil to be wonderfully lubricating. You may make it in to a vinaigrette with lemon juice and salt, and dip bread in it.0 -
magnesium citrate supplements , you will sleep better every night and guarantee at least 1 big poop a day. take too much and you wont be able to leave the house.0

I couldn't believe the positive impact magnesium had on my sleep!0

As long as you don't have any pain/discomfort i don't see the problem really.. I only have bm 1x every 1/1.5 weeks. Has been like this since i was a little kid, and i eat about 40 grams of fibre every day....0

I measure it and eat only 1 TBs. on toast or an English muffin in the morning. I know some people can't stop and will eat it right out of the jar, but for me, 1 tb on bread or an apple is enough to keep me full in the morning.I tend to have the same issue.

I used to have the problem all during my teenage years...i thought it was normal... but turns out i was not eating enough which cleared the problem...Also try a probiotic like shiff digestive advantage!0

Trouble sleeping, constipated sounds like magnesium defiecincy. I was also once plauged with this.0
-
Every other day is perfectly fine. If you're not constipated, no worries. No need to intervene.0
-
My fibre is over the norm and I'm every other day when dieting. Shouldn't be an issue though. I believe this is also normal. If it turns into two days or more I eat foods that will induce it like popcorn. Works like a charm.0
