  • Digestion

    Having some lower intestinal pain and I am taking a good fiber. I figure most people go through this??? I hope it doesn't take that long to adjust to this new way of eating....It hurts!

    I have had the same problem this week. It feels like I swallowed razor blades. I'm kinda wondering what could've caused it.

      The fiber could be causing the pain. If you don't drink tons of water with it, it can compact and cause bowel obstruction. Adding a lot of fat will usually clean things out. Coconut oil works quickly.

      If you are taking L-glutamine for sugar cravings, it can cause severe constipation. I haven't been constipated in at least a year, but within a week of starting L-glutamine had me passing what felt like stones. I had to take stool softeners and extra magnesium and vitamine C to get that back-up cleared out.
      People who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those doing it.

        The fiber without enough water is probably it. I also changed my fiber because the one I had had too much sugar in it.

        I do have extra virgin coconut oil - (been eating for a long time now) but what I usually do is slather it on ezekiel bread...thats not gonna happen!. ok I guess I'll go eat some right out of the jar! tks for the tip Sunny!
