Fiber

[Zcustom]

So I'm trying to eat better, and have upped my daily intake of Fiber from nada to around 30grams per day.

My stomach does friggin flips all day and yesterday I had the most impressive BM ever. Right now my stomach feels like it's boiling, not pleasant.

Can one of you health nuts comfort me and say this gets better over time? Been at it about a week now and it would be nice if things calmed down.

Eat Kashi at least once a day and your poo will look like porridge. Glorious.

You will have to get some protein in there too. High fiber means a lot of machine gun dumps. Fiber=softer/loose, protein=together.

ya, probably too much, too soon!!!

[Zcustom]

I'm doing it right, slowly, and there are other things too including plenty of protein.

Clearly I ate poorly for too long, I think my body's in shock.

Make sure you pay attention and understand the dif between soluable and non soulable fiber.

Your stomach just doesn't know whats going.

Scrum is right on Kashi. That stuff rocks. But small amounts eary.

I would also suggest getting some Phillips probiotics. One tablet a day is all you need.

Also 30g sounds a bit high. I have always seen btwn 20-25.

Drink tons of water as you increase your fiber.

I have been doing the same thing for the past week or so.

Stomach is rolling, and I poo 5 times yesterday...I certainly hope that things are getting better.

Good lookin out there Pstall.

I used a Fiber intake calculator and based on my largeness 30g was the recommendation. I've been building up to it but I may take it a little slower.

And I just farted longer than I ever have in my life, so I feel pretty damn good now.

Stay hydrated, a lot of those fiber cereals expand in your stomach so you want water to make things easier.

Drink a lot of Grape Crush, you'll be impressed with the results.

Anyone remember way back when Burger King was selling those ice-cream/slushie hybrid things? I got the purple one once and it had so much food dye in it it looks like I was crapping out big-ass purple crayons for 2 days.

Start eating some Greek Yogurt. It has alot of beneficial probiotics and also a good source of protein.
