I ate soup, tea, and water today, and now I have Diarrhea. What is going on? Seriously. [Yup, pooping a part of weight loss, and I'm confused.] I don't even understand. I'm not in pain or sick or naseous, or puking or anything. I should take it as a blessing, as I am normally constipated, but this is frustrating. I probably can't work out this morning, because of this. Any ideas?

    I have IBS and I get that way if I don't have enough fiber. I started taking benefiber, but I cant tell a difference yet.

    Say hello to the BRAT (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast) diet until it calms down.

    I was going to say, "BUT I EAT SPINACH!" But.. That's iron. -huffs-

    Buster, I am allergic to bananas, and I think out of the list, I /might/ have rice, LOL.

    IBS is a pain to deal with. On bad days I can't leave home. I add benefiber powder to my water, and my dr swears it will help. I fluctuate between constipation and diarrhea daily.

    -hugs- I'm sorry. I could give it a shot. My parents blame my diet, but I'm trying to be healthy now, and sunflower seeds don't help, because they make me bleed..

    I can understand about the seeds, I had my gallbladder removed years ago, so I can't eat nuts as they don't digest well. I had some issues when I started dieting, most worked themselves out in a few days.

    Yeah, which is really problematic, but I sometimes eat the shells. ;x Yeah, hopefully I'll be okay.

    Amanda, sometimes, it is, but I just don't get it. ;[

    Metformin / Glucophage, by chance? That'll do it. Have you been on it for long? I've been taking it off and on for about 11 years and every time I miss a couple of days it's HELL on my tummy trying to get back on track.

    Which reminds me, I didn't take any with dinner. BRB. :)
