Holidaygirl Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Background - I have been mainly paleo since last 2009. No grains, not too much sugar, few chemicals etc. Not strict, and incorporated dairy but certainly healthier than most and enough to control my endometriosis - which was what sparked the change in the first place. I'd say my diet was good old fashioned 1950's cooking Flash forward to October last year and we had some building work done to the house and the chaos engendered a slip towards very regular red wine(!!), more regular 90% dark chocolate and convenience food. I wasn't surprised when both myself & husband came down with put-you-in-bed-for-a-week flu in May. So we embarked upon a Whole 30 to put us back on track and get us out of the "just one won't hurt" rut. We are on day 17 or something at the moment - we're not really counting much. It's going well - except ..... The BATHROOM ISSUE- Whenever I go really strict paleo things in the bathroom get ... um .... loose. Persistently. I find I go from regular once a day with no issues to intermittent bathroom visits of looseness. It's weird - when there's a small proportion of non paleo stuff in my diet I go back to A-OK in the bathroom stakes. I really want to hack this because I desperately want to keep my diet clean after my 30 days is up. Whole 30 eating -> Breakfasts are scrambled egg (in ghee) with spinach and a meat (generally chicken or pig of some description) Lunches are packed for work and usually something like Nomnom paleo meatloaf along with Nomnom paleo sweet potato muffins Dinner - a meat with plenty of veg ...... tonight was chicken wrapped in bacon ..... yesterday was steak with liver. No fruit or nuts to speak of. No in between meal nibbles. I drink mainly water or weak white tea with a coffee (black) in the morning. I don't think my bathroom issue is steatoria (sp?) because I really don't think I am going overboard with fats and I only really use ghee and coconut oil ... both of which I am used to after all this time. Can anyone shed any light? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arabella Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Sorry! I was constipated like nobody's business! Didn't even pass gas. Plenty of greens and fats too just a larger intake of meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealAndra Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Do you take a daily probiotic and eat fermented foods? This may help normalize your stools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstwhole30 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 To be honest I have had the 'runs' constantly, a few times a day even, its been the most frustrating part of this whole thing for me so far ( day 5) was hoping someone could answer this one for me too. :0/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee Lee Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 maybe lighten up on the green leafy veggies a bit? some folks have difficulty digesting veggie matter in general, so that's one place to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
