Eponina Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Help!!! I started my whole30 on August, 1st. The first week I suffered from diarrhea, but around day 8 I was fine. But the diarrhea is coming back over and over again. Last Saturday I had to stay near a toilet all evening (but I thought my upcoming period was the cause). But today it came back, and even worse. Just had M1, and after that... I don't want to tell details, but it was very unpleasant. I skipped M2, just had a banana, and took a pill against it, because we had tickets for theatre. On the way I had another banana (because I remembered they help with diarrhea). Someone already suggested digestive enzymes. What kind of enzymes? I think here in Germany I can buy probiotics, is that what you mean? Please help me, it's really getting annoying... Ok, I guess I'm loosing more weight that way, but I'm sure this is not really healthy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colleen Roy Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Are you taking magnesium to help with sleep? Because that can cause diarrhea in some people. My husband had to go to taking it every other day, and then was able to just cut the dose in half. So, if you are taking the magnesium, I'd stop for a few days and see if that helps? Or, you just might have a bug? Hope you feel better!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eponina Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 No, I don't take magnesium. And except for the diarrhea, I feel fine. But I had to take antibiotics for a few weeks this year. Maybe that has to do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
askins Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Are you eating eggs? My husband is sensitive to eggs and this sounds like exactly what happened to him. Try cutting out eggs - it shocked us that this worked so fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eponina Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Okay, I will try that. But what for M1 then?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyknight Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Another guess - are you eating nuts a lot? My stomach seems to be pretty sensitive to them so I can really only have them every few days, otherwise I'm stuck in the bathroom like you mentioned.

amberino21 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Okay, I will try that. But what for M1 then?!? Meal 3 leftovers from the previous night? You can eat what you like!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizitea Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I had diarrhea really badly when I did my first month of paleo, the month before starting here. Probiotics totally worked. Nuts were aggravating it too. Nuts seem to be fine now one month later -- I cook with them a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eponina Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Well, I had eggs this morning, too (just because I was so lazy), and I felt fine today... Didn't eat nuts yesterday. But definetely getting some probiotics. I always had problems with my digestion; I know I'm lactose intolerant, but couldn't leave out dairy until now. Found a great medicine though, and was fine with that. But when I did intermittent fasting last year (one day with food, one without), I had diarrhea every day I ate again... I will try to figure out what works for me and what doesn't. Thank you for your help!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
