Bowel movements

[ready2rumble]

first off, this is a serious thread..lol...maybe a bit politically incorrect, but serious.

i am not having very many bowel movements, maybe every other day...and when i go, i crap like a rabbit, just small pellets.

i have been eating very very clean the last few months, no junk food, no fast food. mainly homecooked meals, veggies, fruits, protein shakes etc. is my body just burning everything i eat??? sometimes i get nasty gas and feel like i have to make a poopy, but nothing comes out or just a couple of tiny pellets. i told a buddy of mine about it, he thinks my body is just using everything up..therefore no waste...any ideas???

Yes, fiber is your friend, your goal is 25 to 30 gm a day, think:

and insoluble fiber thats the fiber that goes through undissolved or altered by the digestive track..

high fiber, high protein, and moderate carbs

I just had to post in the poooo thread

eat some fat once a while, and some oils, that would help.... (eat like a rabbit = shit like a rabbit)

isnt fiber for constipation? im not constipated, when i have to poop..i poop. just not much and not often. im not complaining at all, i just want to help understand what is going on. i actually like only using only one roll of toilet paper every month.

You are constipated... and probably dehydrated. How much water do you drink per day?

Gods I hate poop threads ...

Okay, long story short, you're going to give yourself hemorrhoids or bowel cancer eventually. Think of fiber like internal scrubbing bubbles. If you add the fiber (along with water) the odor would go down, and you would be going more often.

You got to remember, what you're expelling is NOT good for your body, it's waste, and not just food waste. Your body shuttles environmental toxins it's been exposed to out through urine and feces, as well. Since you're not producing enough to go daily, you're keeping toxins in your body longer than you need to.

That nasty gas? That's not good, and not pleasant. Increasing fiber will help that to a degree. Small, hard stool doesn't just uh, fall out. You've got to be straining (GOD TMI ...) but that's how you give yourself hemorrhoids and fistulas, you don't want that either.

Finally, low fiber intake has been linked to increased risk of colon cancer, short and sweet.

Finally, just read this, it's not me talking here, it's the government:

FDA/CFSAN Why is fiber important to your diet?
