so... i started weight watchers a couple weeks ago, and so i'm eating all this high fiber stuff, and drinking a lot more water, and i'm having really bad gas pains and pooping A LOT. is this something that's going to even out after a while, or am i supposed to just get used to this?if it matters, i'm lacto-ovo vegetarian, although i hardly eat any real dairy because i'm lactose intolerant.
when you change your diet, it takes a while for your guts to get used to it. Give it a few days, you'll be back to normal.
>>100427ok... i'll look forward to not having to poo 4 and 5 times a day, oh man.
if that doesn't help you, try limiting it a bit. I eat normally quite a lot of fibers but still get the shits if I over do it.
>>100429Well, high fiber diets do that to you.
>>100436it won't be as bad after a while though
Have you guys tried Metamucil or other psyllium fiber products?
>>100436yeah, i knew it would happen to an extent. i just didn't know if it was a forever thing, or something that would even out after a few weeks.
Pooping alot and farting alot means you're digesting well. :D
>>100481It only gets awkward when you're training and happen to shart. So far it has happened to me while squatting, benching and deadlifting. :D
>>100482LMAO. That's awesome.SQUATZ. Farts help you propel yourself upwards as you do them!
I can't wait to poop that!
>>100495Dude I used to watch this show all the time as a little kid.I lol'd everytime he pulled down his pants.
>>100482i totally farted in my trainer's face the other day. that was bad enough D:
