jmcbn Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Changes in BMs are fairly normal, but if you're going A LOT more than normal, or the consistency is A LOT different then maybe you need to speak with a pharmacist.It could be something you've eaten so if you'd like to post a few days worth of your food/liquid intake along with activity/stress/sleep levels we can maybe help you trouble-shoot. In the meantime be sure to stay hydrated.If you're overly concerned please speak to a medical professional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee626 Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 I've been eating pretty much the same foods Breakfast: Scrambled Eggs and Fruit Lunch: Fish & Green Beans & Fruit Dinner: Romaine Salad with Shrimp Tomatoes Cucumbers,Spinach, and Chopped Eggs with Balsamic Vingerette. Snack: Lara Bar Lots of water actually ONLY WATER... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I'd lay off on the fruit & larabars for starters - larabars are for emergencies only and a snack is not an emergency, it's a signal that your meals aren't big enough. Are they keeping you full for 4-5hrs?Add vegetables to your meal one - aim for 1-3 cups with 3 being optimum - and maybe an additional fat.Again, your meal two is lacking in fat, and I'm assuming is too small in general due to your need to snack - try some starchy veg in there somewhere too, and mix it up a bit by adding mayo or a sauce of some sort.Meal three looks better, but given that you've bowel issues you might want to lay off the raw veg until it clears up.Try sticking to cooked veg & more bland meals for now & keep up with the water....

Moderators Tom Denham Posted October 1, 2015 Moderators Share Posted October 1, 2015 I started taking a probiotic supplement every day and it has had a good influence on my bowel movements. I spent years eating fermented sauerkraut and kombucha every day hoping that would give me enough probiotics, but taking a supplement every day has really "improved" things. My current favorites are Primal Flora from Mark's Daily Apple (available on Amazon.com) and Prescript-Assist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee626 Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 @jcmbn I thought mayo wasn't allowed? I was eating potatoes but alot in the beginning and they were keeping me full but assumed I was eating too much starch but definately start eating it again. @Tom Denham Gonna look into it! Thanks Guys!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 @jcmbn I thought mayo wasn't allowed? Most store bought mayo's have off plan ingredients, but it's really easy (& tastier!) to make your own. Give >this one< a try.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
