I have reviewed everything you're eating and I don't see anything that should cause this kind of problem, maybe something else is going on, stomach bug maybe ? Over the counter remedies include Pepto Bismol, Kaopectate and Imodium...I prefer Imodium, works quick with a small dose.

Of course if you're feeling ill you should always consult your doctor....keep us informed

Im partial to sugar free candies for that problem lol~

Beebs...although the subject line is constipation...which is my situation ...but our suzanne is having the opposite affect right now ...
for her the problem is 'running' overtime and she wants to "put a 'cap' on it" .......lol

I say a bit of Imodium  !!


what about me.........
have to stay off the sugar alcohols, benefiber seems to be not helping...i cut the cheese..lol, have been exercising,
drinking plenty of water, water, water.... wake up again to another day of not going!!

Cheese for too much sugar free candies for to little.

Well, tried imodium, was ok for 20 hres.  Bloated, etc...  Now back too the same ole run....  I have tried cheese, even added a little rice a supper, gesss, I am not too sure what the heck is happening.  If it would be a stomach flu, I would have nausea, not the case.  Or is it my system adapting to eating sooo much protein.  Hence, been rather drained, dizzy and dehydrated.  Been drinking plenty of water and fresca too get some sorta of electrolytes via the aspartame kind.  Now I am wonder, what Monday will bring for weigh in.  Taking imodium = bloating and intestinal pain, no imodium = keeps me running and intestinal pain.  Well, will see what happens from here til Monday and if not better will consult Doc.  Thanks for all the feed back and support.

If you read up on the benefits of gg crispbread, it is supposed to act as a binder as well as helping keep everything moving for those of us that have the opposite problem.  I used to have to eat 4 of them a day and now since eliminating sugar from my diet I only NEED 1.  Sometimes I eat more just because I like them.  Now even if I eat beef I am ok.

Suzanne, I'm of the opinion you have something else going on other than your diet change. I'm thinking low level Salmonella. You can pick it up easily and you have the symptoms. Salmonella is treated with meds and clears up quickly but untreated it can last in your system for a couple of weeks. I want you to go see the doc, ask in advance if they want you to bring a stool sample with you. Don't mess around here...it's gone on too long

Thank you all for you very informative feed back,  as for the GG crisp, order is pending hope to get it in this week.  Doug, I will check this out with my doc tomorrow.  Thanks again all.  Suzanne
