Is this Normal?

[Sedalia]

Started LT today and now after two sachets I have chronic diarrahea. Is this normal and will it go away?

 

[ducatidiva]

Hmmm I didnt have that myself, so I'm not sure. If I were you I would perhaps post on LL or CD boards as they are busier, or do a search of minimins to see what comes up. Someone will soon be able to help you, I'm sure!

PS - just done a quicksearch and found hte following post on the Cambridge board....


"I had probs with diahorrea after about 5 or 6 days of starting SS- for 3 days. Its not good but it disappeared after that and no problems since. CDC said its not a common side effect but it isn't unheard of- something to do with your body detoxing and getting rid of poisonous toxins apparently."

Thanks, trust me to be the odd one...

Actually I found this too which might also help others:

Preparation steps accordingly and consumed at least 3 litres of water daily.
However, a small proportion of customers may experience some temporary side effects (as outlined below), which are commonly associated with any weight loss regime. You could avoid these side effects by drinking plenty of fluid.

b) Lactose Intolerance
Increase fluid intake, divide the Diet into 6 small portions a day. Discontinue the diet if the symptoms do not settle down. Change to lactose free flavour.

It didnt' come out, but basically it said it could be a concentrated mineral and vitamins problem so you should devide the shakes into 6 small portions. This was for the Cambridge diet, does it mean I can apply this to LT?

Yes Sedalia,

It would help to divide the shakes until your system gets use to them and you can do this with the Lipotrim packs. You have to make it the half pack up fresh as they don't keep and begin to lose their nutritional value as some of the vitamins are water soluble.

Also, if you get fibre clear from your chemist a teaspoonful once a day will help you. You can mix it with your drink or in your tea and coffee it is tasteless. A teaspoonful of fibre clear a day can also keep you regular and some research suggests that it can help prevent gall stones.

It is pretty common that when you change your diet for whatever reason that you can have toilet troubles one way or the other...

Some can get constipated in the first few weeks and some get the runs.

As long as you know your not allergic to milk as lactose intolerance can cause the runs also.

 

[Sedalia]

Thanks! You are so kind. I don't have to worry about gallstones as I had my gallbladder out last year, hehe. But I would like to know if I can take fybogel.

 

[Mini]

I think fybogel and fibreclear are similar.

Your daily Fibre without The USUAL fibre taste AND without the EXCESS calories NEEDED TO GET THE FIBRE


I do know that the calories in fiberclear won't interfere with ketosis, not sure about fybogel what calories or its effect on ketosis.

You can run it by your chemist just to make sure.


Love Mini xxx

 

[Sedalia]

THanks, I've decided on fibreclear

 

[ducatidiva]

Only just come back on here, glad you've got some good answers there!!! Hope you will be ok now

 

[Sedalia]

I am sure I will now that I am splitting the drinks up to 6 times a day and adding this fibre when I get it.

 

[sonkie]

Woooo looks like our Mini has sorted you out.

Hope it all settles down soon.

 

[Sedalia]

Headache gone but diarrhoea back, can't wait until I get some of that fibreclear!

 

[ducatidiva]

Aaaaaw you poor thing. Hang on in there, you'll be ok soon!

 

[Sedalia]

I hope so because I am having no problem living on shakes and the diarrhoea isn't that bad, I am not getting a stomache or anything like that at least. It is just...happening hehe.

 

[sonkie]

Hope it sorts itself out soon hun. Make sure you keep your fluid intake up or you may dehydrate.
