Hi all,
Before you continue reading I'll warn you this isn't a pleasant post. I'd rather not share this with the world but I will in the hope that someone can offer some guidance. I will bring it up with my CDC on Saturday anyway but was wondering if this is normal or not,
I'm coming to the end of the first week and I have to say that apart from peeing all the time (I'm condering attaching a hose so I'm not up and down all day), I've not really had any side effects. Apart from being a bit tired earlier in the week and the struggle to stop craving junk food at times it's not been too bad at all until this evening.
Before the diet I was a regular once or twice a day man. Then over the first half of the week I think there were a couple of days I didn't need to go at all and when I did they were certainly a fraction in size and a lot more solid. I'd been expecting a bit of constipation etc and if anything it's been a welcome break from my old routine as I often suffered with upset stomachs.
This evening I have had some terrible diahorrea though. Is this normal? No cramps or pains like I've had with tummy bugs. Just really really loose bowel movements and a couple of them. My stomach is currently telling me it wants another as well.
I have to say I did go a long time without any food packs today and feel a bit like I crammed them in late in the day. I had my first around 11:30, the 2nd about 4:30, then 8:00 & then about 10pm. They kicked in as I started to make the last pack so I'd only had 3. Could it be too much water in ratio to the packs in that I'd only had 3 packs on about 4 litres of water?
Any thoughts? Someone tell me it's normal! Sorry again for the crappy topic... (No pun intended... honest!!)
