Please Help Now!! Stomach Cramps and Diarrhea

[hpnodat]

I know its gross to talk about. Sorry I need too!!
Every time I have tried to start induction I have stomach cramps and diarrhea. I feel like I have a virus but I don't. This is one of the reasons why I have failed in the past. I cant tolerate going to the bathroom every 30 minutes. I'm on day 2 and I'm already sick of the bathroom. Is this NORMAL? If it is its rediculous! Anyway, If you have experienced this before please tell me what I can do to help it. Thanks.

Make sure you eating your veggies.I go thru bouts of loose bowel,it's normal eating alot of protein/fat and not alot of roughage.I welcome it because before atkins I didn't have regular BM's and taking iron I would get stopped up.You may want to watch how much oil and butter , and dairy you taking in and cut it back alittle then ease it back in.My Bouts of loose BM's do not have cramping though ,I use to when I ate alot of eggs and found out that I'm mildly allergic.I still eat them now and then but usually have stomach pains afterwards ...Are you eating alot of eggs ,,,?

I am sorry you feel so bad. Try eating some cheese, it might help stop it. Your body might just be responding to the WOE and is dumping the toxins stored up in your system. Make sure you drink plenty of water to keep from dehydrating too. It could very well be the induction flu, and if you can be patient for just a few more days, it should pass.
Good luck

Thanks for the quick reply.

I just thought about something, What about a fiber suppelment? Do any of you use one?

Fiber (psyllium or ground flaxseed) would probably do you some good. It's a good regulator of waste. If you are constipated, it helps soften it...and if you've got diarhea then it helps bulk it up.

If you choose psyllium, make sure it's plain or unsweetened.
