Personal Question

[JeNu10]

Hi everyone, I have a rather personal question..

I am on day 22 of an Extended Induction. In my first week, I experienced diarrhea, which I read was a normal way for your body to adjust to the higher fat content and higher fiber etc. It subsided for a little more than a week so I assumed the phase had passed, but about two days ago it came back with a vengeance. Funny thing is, I haven't changed a thing about what I'm eating, and my excercise has been steady. Now it seems I'm back to barely digesting any of my food! I'm at a loss and am not looking forward to work tomorrow if this continues..any help??

Are you possibly eating any sugar alcohols, like sugar free candy?

[JeNu10]

Nope no sugar alcohols whatsoever. The only possible thing I can think is that maybe my fat content got a little too high. I don't use fitday so I don't know the exact percentage. I think I'm going to skip my two cups of greens and eat a lean dinner just for today. Maybe that could help.

if it went away and is back and as you say you haven't altered your foods then it could be something other then diwt related now like a virus

Hey Jen! I have/had the same problem (it comes and goes). At first I thought it was a virus, but now I think that it's just the high fat content of my diet. I posted about it awhile back and had a few other people here say they experienced the same thing. The only thing that sounds different is that you sound like you have to stay close by to a bathroom. Mine wasn't like that, so maybe it is a virus?

Hey everyone, thanks for all your input. Yesterday and today I lowered my fat intake a bunch, and low and behold my digestive system has straightened out just like that! Guess I'll have to keep a tighter eye on my fat intake. Now im going to start working on finding a happy medium. Just happy the problem's solved!!!!!!
