hi mate know how your feeling my change of lifestyle going from crap to eating healthy caused me problems. I was eating a loads of fibre too but nothing helped went to the doc and he gave me a 2 week course of laxido which has got me back to normal. it apparently can be caused by the sudden change of what you eat and the amounts of different food which the body is not used to so it needs a kick to sort itself out 😀 that is my theory.

So you need to take medication to counteract the effects of the diet you are on.

Can you see what to do?

So, you are full of s..t? Ease off on the eggs and drink more fluids, preferably water.

Drink lots of water.
Chew your food properly (like yer nan would say!).
Find which foods mess with you.
I find lots of chicken bungs me up, and baked beans send my insides mental.
Fruit and fibre cerial is the best I have found for being regular.
If you are really bunged up then stop eating and just drink lots of water.
Don't force it. Google diverticulosis for reasons why.

May the force be (not) with you.

3 eggs a day should not do anything drastic jesus body builders eat them by the bucket load daily and pretty sure they do ok.

How what? Forcing poo can contribute to causing divericulosis.
Drinking lots of water and allowing gradual peristalsis to take its course will reduce this chance.

I am sure that it is possible to eat and it all get processed by the body such that there is no significant "waste" to expel - but I am not an expert.

Hope that you are using loads of Olive Oil on your salads... Mmmmm.

Liquorice has mild natural laxative properties, but if you are feeling bad use some over the counter remedy for sure. The pharmacist's in Tesco's are great qualified advisors IMHO.

Hope you feel better soon.

My sister once drank a load of 3 in 1 when she was about 3. My mum said everything fell out for about a week. An alternative is white paraffin; a colleague gave it to a mate for a laugh and it worked pretty quickly by all accounts.

Alternatively loads of water, strong coffee and fags.

Lactulose is the answer ton,it's slow and gentle,your GP should prescribe it for you,otherwise available over the counter in chemists.I worked in elderly care for years,and in gastro-enterology,I could probably write a book,TJ has experience in the client group too IIRC.

**Wonders, am I permitted to contribute**

If you're finally giving the iDiet a proper go.

Then I would say that, well, ime at least, the body went through some initial [i]adjustment[/i].
Things will get [i]better[/i].

I'm assming its early days for you, so stick with it.

Good luck.
