RandiW Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Changes in digestion and BMs have been one of the BEST NSVs I've had doing Whole 30. I have an autoimmune disease and have dealt with chronic constipation my whole life. But since doing W30, I've been going every day and many days twice a day! This has NEVER happened in my entire existence. But then, I started to feel a little backed up in the evening on day 26. I shrugged, figured it would sort itself out in the morning on day 27 like usual. Except, no dice. No BM all day. And SAME YESTERDAY (This was typical of me, before - 2-3 days between BM). Yesterday (day 28) I drank some compliant kombucha and took a probiotic. I walked 4.5 miles. I drank a lot of fluids. But no BM. It's early in my day, so it might work itself out today, but I haven't had that feeling of needing to go just yet. Wtf? Thinking over my meals, I have been lighter than usual yesterday on veggies (still appropriate levels of protein/fat), but day 27 was packed full of veg. I'll post out my meals if you guys want, but anyone else suffered a change in digestive status late in the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCM777 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Yes! I've definitely been having a more difficult time over the past few days. I'm on day 29 today. Same experience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandiW Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 I thought perhaps it was because I started antibiotics on day 26 (realized after I posted) but it's been crazy. Had a small BM this am, but still uncomfortable. Ate some soaked chia this morning and a probiotic and kombucha and nothing really happening. Blargh.

Urnesha Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I've had this problem since Day 8. On Day 1 of Reintroduction today. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong but I'm only going every 3-4 days and before Whole30 it used to be every day! I started my first batch of home-made sauerkraut 2 days ago so soon I'll be able to eat it. I'm hoping adding some probiotics to my diet will help.

Stegner Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I've never seen anyone mention prunes as a solution to this problem - but they are effective and I don't see any reason they wouldn't be compliant. Also, drinking a couple of cups of hot water in the morning works.. Just ask grandma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted February 1, 2017 Moderators Share Posted February 1, 2017 I swear by Natural Calm (unflavored) magnesium. Stir a little into a short glass of water. Start with just a teaspoon. Also, how much water are you drinking? Are you also eating 1 - 3 cups of veggies at each meal? Hope you get relief soon.
