Personal Question........

[JeNN_in_2008]

This one is for my hubby. Last time we did Atkins he had terrible issues with bowel movements. It seems like eating this way, things just run through him. He is in the restroom at least like 5 times a day with bowel movements. Is there anything that would help this??

A fiber suppliment actually might help. It seems counterintuitive, but the extra fiber can help sort of bind things together. Metamucil makes capsules that work well. It might be worth a try.

My hubby has the same problem and he makes sure he eats his daily 3 oz of cheese and that helps ........

He may feel bloated the first few months of taking the fiber supplement. He may also be eating a trigger food. Keep a food diary and see if some days are better than others. It may also just be the fat content.

From hubby and my own experience, this happened initially but my system normalized within a few weeks. Keep drinking water and remember all veggies.
