TMI really dont know whats going on!!

Go see a doctor

Try adding fruit to your diet and drink even more water. I had a similar problem when I first started working out, but just upped the fruit and water, and that helped.

There are over the counter medications that you can try that are very safe, but I agree that a doctor would be the best person to give you the "go ahead" to try them. Or have you tried anything like Activia that is supposed to help you be more regular?

If you up your fiber intake quickly it can make you really bloated and gasy!

Go see a doctor

I agree!

having too much fiber and not drinking plenty of water can do that to you as well.

as most here have said, you should call your doctor and make an appointment ASAP

ok so last week i didnt go to the toilet for 4 days in a row so i took a lacitive friday night which gave me the runs for a whole of sat :sad:

now its tuesday night and i havent been again since sat??? i eat plenty of fibre and drink loads of water . ir eally dont understand and its getting me down as my belly is bloated and hard

any help would be gratefull.....

You can be getting too much fiber...it affects people different ways. Try some Miralax...it should help you!

First of all, don't ever take a laxative again. Unless you are directed to do so by your doctor, laxatives do not help. They don't help you lose weight, it puts extra strain on your colon, and is unsafe to repeat use.

Try adding a fiber supplement, like Benefiber or metamucil. You add them to something you drink, or something soft you eat. However, check the calories of the fiber supplements because some contain sugar. I use Benefiber, the sugar free kind. It still has a few calories, but much less than the regularly advertised one.

Laxatives just delay you getting to the heart of the problem.

Agree with most of the positive advice above, to which I can add, how many eggs do you get through in a week? To many can bung you up!

Too much fiber? But I'd call your doctor first just to be sure.

That happened to me last year, I ate a whole box of raisen bran and let's just say... I wasn't feeling too well.

Definitely get to your doctor... after your doctor (or homeopath - my preference) has thoroughly checked you out, mention Magnesium Citrate capsules. I take those on a regular basis. All natural and they keep my bowels from becoming impacted. For years my bowels were so impacted that even gas couldn't make it all the way through my system without bunching up and causing such horrific pain that my husband felt he needed to rush me to the hospital when I bowled over and fell to the floor clutching my stomach.

I don't go through that kind of pain anymore. I keep magnesium citrate capsules in my cabinet at all times. I take 3 in the morning and 3 and night before bed. If I forget to take them... I know it!

SEE YOUR DOCTOR FIRST!

lol, I ate almost a whole box of All Bran Multi-grain crackers before.....they are so good but I'll never do that again! I know your pain :laugh:

My then-6-year-old daughter once ate a Fiber One bar, thinking it was just any snack bar... Oh my lord. There were definite issues a couple hours later. :sick:

I've read in the past that there is types of fiber, soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber absorbs water making it easier for you to go. Insoluble fiber just passes through and doesn't absorb water which makes you constipated. Eat plenty of fruit.
