Diarrhoea???

[Laubride]

On day seven and had a bout of diarrhoea, sorry tmi, is this normal? Xx

 

[miss vlcd38]

I've had that on my first week it's either the concentrated vitamins and minerals in the packs so add more water or drink water before you have a pack and your body will adjust to it.
Or sometimes my body has a clear out

 

[StripedDaisy]

Me too. I wondered if it was bypassing constipation....?

 

[iwillbethinagain]

It's normal and usually settles by the end of week two. It has several causes: mineral increase, reduction in 'bulking agents' (e.g.carby fibre), if you quickly increase your water intake etc etc.

I haven't had any issue with constipation, but put simply less in = less out.

I had it too !

I thought it was the orange flavouring for the water that I'd tried that day, but could be normal day 7 explosions for everyone

Hey Laubride and all!

I had this too! In fact, I had it so bad I was in agony on Friday and practically collapsed on the bathroom floor. My mum reckons that it's because I've gone off so many of the packs that I'm basically just doing shakes and bars and the high liquid content is the problem... Haven't had it since Friday but if I have it again that bad I might see the doc. Has anyone else had this pain? I also feel sick most of the time on this diet (into week 3 now).

Hope you feel better Laubride Congrats on the wedding too! xxx

That could be something else, such as dairy intolerance. There is a HUGE amount of diary protein in these packs so could be that. If it doesn't settle down I would go to the GP.

Thanks iwillbethingagain - I didn't realise there was that much dairy in the packs? So could it have made me intolerant to lactose then? :sigh: Sometimes when I'm on the treadmill too I get these awful stomach cramps. Could be related?

[iwillbethinagain]

Most of the protein comes from dairy sources, it is why it is suitable for veggies but not vegans.

I can be intolerant to dairy, only in large quantities but it can be nasty!

 

[Desperate!!!]

I'm pretty sure I'm lactose intolerant but I have been fine on the milkshakes :/ I also didn't think they'd be so much dairy as I don't have the milk allowance :/ so let me know if it is that as I'll have to try and stay of the shakes a bit more x

 

[iwillbethinagain]

first ingredients in almost all the shakes is: Protein blend (skim milk, calcium caseinate) or: milk proteins, caramel powder (milk cream, small milk, sugar, butter).

 

[Desperate!!!]

Hmm can't complain I've been fine I'f I drink milk normally I'm really I'll! X

 

[Laubride]

Thanks for all the help guys, I had it for a couple days but obviously there wasn't a lot there but it was uncomfortable and I almost got caught short a couple times but today it seems to have died down.

It's kicking off at night mostly for me, resulting in no sleep and grouchy all day :/
Ten to five ... I'm exhausted
Hope this stops now ... It's enough to pack it in !
Tmi sorry :'(
Xoxo

 

[Spanglymum]

I get it from the slim and save bars. I'm not sure what it is that triggers it but I get bad bowel cramps and diarrhoea almost without fail. Pity, as the bars make a tasty change!

 

[sugar_face]

So four days tops it lasts.

Haha dieting is hardly the most glamourous thing when a diet makes your wee smell, your breath smell, gives you the runs and messes up your cycles lol!

The things we do to lose weight eh!

love sarah xxx
