Started on being healthy and now I can't stop with the BMing

i wouldn't know the exact answer to this, but i do know eating the right foods and exercises will definitely boost your metabolism!

Adding extra fiber and water and moving more helps clean out all the old. Chew the food better and just keep doing what you are doing. You body will adjust. Don't go over board with the fiber to quickly. Good luck!

@Sidesteal has it right, go see a doctor.

If you can't go, try keeping a food diary and switch back to foods you are used to (just smaller portions). Then start changing it little by little to try to figure out what it is. I am not a doctor and this is not medical advice. Go to the doctor if you can.

I've been having the same problems... not so much of the going to the bathroom alot, but the opposite. I haven't been able to go, and my stomach has been aching SEVERELY. I'm not sure what to do either... Am I taking in too much fiber? I'm thinking about doing a cleanse, but I'm a little weary about it. I hope you situation gets better. I would say, if the bathroom problems continue, definitely go see a doctor. If they stop, then your body is getting used to the change in the diet.

Whether it's normal depends upon what you are seeing. If you recognize your corn and greens, then, actually, it IS normal. A lot of recognizable stuff comes out with produce. Not so much with starches and meat. If you have suddenly raised your water intake and your fiber intake, that would account for much. You almost certainly ARE scrubbing out your insides if you have suddenly increased your fiber and water, both.

Undigested FAT, otoh, would be a problem.

Are you matching your fiber with enough water? Increasing your fiber without substantially increasing your water will cause PROBLEMS.

Hi genmills, well if you are drinking a lot of water let me say that "pee" is the way your body have to eliminate the toxins and within "clean up" your body... but maybe you should watch out for the kind of food you are eating and how much you're eating. I said this cause maybe you are eating "whole grain products" let me say it's a great idea, but when body wasn't use to receive enough fiber (as i figure out you are doing now) the body feels that change and starts to answer with this "bathroom attack" or maybe you feel a stomach swelling ( and im guessing it's that "uncomfortable" stomach situation you talked about ). You also should to watch out for your macronutirents ratio.50% calories from Carbohydrates , 30% calories from protein, and 20% from fat. Of course you don't have to follow this numbers but i think if you got close to them your body would start to answer better through the day. But at the end, i think it's normal to see increases on you "bath visits" look at this process as your body cleaning up itself and getting ready to get you in the best shape of your life. If you give a try to my advice i would be really glad you to keep me posted what you say? hope my answer might be usefull

Definitely chew your food better. I would recommend taking your temperature (hopefully you know what your healthy baseline is as it probably won't be 98.6, e.g. mine is 97.7). If it's normal and you're not throwing up then your body is _probably_ just adjusting. Someone else suggested going back to more of your normal foods in smaller portions and change your diet more slowly. I would agree with that.

Good luck.
