I've got bad Diarrhea. I've just started my second week today and it's really bad. I'm starting to worry, why would I get this?
I've been regular ish all my 1st week which I was surprised about as I was very constipated on CD!
Can anyone reassure me please I'm really worried to go to work later. EEk how long does this last ............. help!!

There is chicory root extract in the packs and bars. I think the bars contain more of it than the packs do. Chicory root extract has a laxative effect, but you will adjust to it and eventually become as constipated as the rest of us lol.

Also, you need to bear in mind that your body will react to the significant change in diet, and this is a common side effect of that. Just give it time and it will sort itself out.
