Sigh, I'm tired of getting the shits all the time

[maultar]

Not eating anything out of the ordinary.

Protein bar

Protein bar

Subway Turkey Sub

Protein Bar

Dinner (a burger or something)

[guineapig]

Try adding some fiber to all that protein man...

[Barkingturtle]

Pretty obviously the Subway.

[maultar]

Isn't fiber the culprit? I'm on a 50/30/20 Prot/Carb/Fat diet of 1700-2000 calories a day. I usually have a turkey burg and egg beaters in the morn but too lazy lately and just have a bar.

Maybe you have an allergy like a gluten allergy or something and it's the bread on the sammiches. Maybe it's a dairy allergy with the whey protein or something in the bars. I don't know, i'm not a nutritionist but you might try a dietary elimination thing to try to find out if you can isolate what causes it.

[maultar]

Maybe, but damn, subway 2 diff locations? Only did this last 2 days for lunch.

[Loke]

I'm no nutritionist, but I'd suggest maybe trying to get away from the protein bars. Those are good once and awhile to suppliment meals, but it's much healthier if the majority of your caloric intake is actual meals, and not meal suppliments. Also, the vast majority of people take WAY too much protein. I think the recommended daily intake of protein is something like 0.8-1.2g per KILOGRAM (not pound) of body weight (1.2 being recommended for atheles and highly active people). Unless you're trying to bulk up (which I can tell you're not since you're only eating 1700-2000cals a day), you really don't need all that much protein.

I know it sucks making meals and stuff, but I'd definitely give that a shot if the shits really both you. Also, hook it up with some fruits and veggies. I know they don't have a lot of nutrients in them according to the packaging, but the phytonutrients that aren't listed are important and help out with the old G.I. tract.

Well I'm on that p90x. They say based on my weight while on the program i should be eating 3000 calories a day and it being 50/30/20 for the first phase. I dont' want to bulk up and I feel comfortable with 1700-2000. I'm not going in to starvation mode I've lost 30lbs already. Just once in a while this happens. Can't explain why. I think it happens when I change something out of my routine. And recently I've gotten off my strict diet.

It used to be the same thign every day until dinner.

7:00 AM Turkey burg, egg beaters

10:00AM - Prot Bar

12:00PM Chicken Breast (sometimes 2), peas and carrots

3:00 PM - Prot Bar

5:00 PM Dinner (includes peas and carrots)

6:00 PM 45 min workout

7:00 PM Recovery Shake.


Now I've thrown in Subway and no limits really. Been slackin. But the weight is being held off just not losing anymore.

Are you drinking some nights? When I was a pretty heavy drinker I used to have the shits every morning big time. I've calmed down the drinking a lot and switched to a healthy diet, my shits have stabilized a lot.. (cept for those after-downtown-shits)

I noticed you sometimes only have 2 hour breaks between meals... you should really be having 3 hour breaks...


You are really massing the Protein too, and if you aren't bulking up, maybe calm down on that...

Probably up the carbs and fat, cut down a bit on the protein.. keep the high protein after work out but trade out the protein bars for nuts/fruits or nut & fruit bars..

Nah, high fiber in a diet is an amazing thing.

If you literally mean the shits then fiber would help you.
One to 2 good solid poops a day, no mess. I can pretty much time mine now.

Apples. Fresh fruits and vegetables in general, but especially apples. The only time I have any gastrointestinal distress is when I eat at Faralito's. Unfortunately it's cinco de Mayo, so I'm probably going to eat at Faralito's tonight. :(

[Modus]

Maybe you should drink something.

I'm guessing you drink soda pop with that subway. Fructose from soda is absorbed quickly into the intestine, decreases the absorption of water, causing diarrhea.

Do those protein bars contain high fructose corn syrup?

[Lonedrahon25]

See the problem we have here is your missing that Tripple Whopper Burger. That right there is so solid, you can even shit out the liquids. Just one massive pile of cow.

[President]

Yea.. could just add cheese to your diet...

[Bones]

Second quote for truth. If you are going to be eating that much protein you need some serious fiber. Try eating a couple apples, see if that helps.

Also, why would you need 3 protein bars a day?

[Shannacore]

boys,

i believe i said /endthread

Honestly, it sounds like anal cancer.

You embarrassed because you have the shits all the time too?

[Izzni]

Have you tried chipotlaway?

[Shannacore]

You embarrassed because you have the shits all the time too?

no.

[maultar]

I never drink, the protein bars have no High Fructose Corn Syrup. I don't drink soda (stopped after kidney stone). I was taking 3 a day because I was too lazy to make the normal breakfast. Get hungry between 7 and 12 so there is bar # 2. The afternoon bar I don't always have. It's just there if I need it. If I get busy enough then it gets skipped a lot.

Had a normal breakfast today. Going to lay off the bars and the ones I do will be different.

This was only in the past 2-3 days it's not like its been going on for months. After day 2 of the shits one tends to get bitchy. Periods ain't got shit on the shits. :P

[Excision Rottun]

KFC Gravy.

[NotInventedHere]

Do the protein bars contain sugar alcohols? Many of them do, to cut down on net carbs. Sugar alcohols in a sufficient quantity will give you the runs like nothing else.

[maultar]

That might be it, they have the alcohol. And adding 1 more in to the mix have have been overboard. Oh wlel I'll get back to normal routine and continue to give you shit reports. Thanks

Well about that, I was curious about guineapigs times. he said he can pretty much time them now. That's impressive. To wield such control over your bowels is a precious gift.
