Increased Food, Bathroom Issues

Diet and Nutrition
1

i didnt really know where to put this, but since im a beginner i figured why not here.

well uh, lets just say i started eating a lot more to get bigger (arent we all :]). with the increased intake of food and protein shakes im starting to have… a problem? when i shit, i feel like im trying to push out a roll of toilet paper. i just took a dump about 10 minutes ago and i wasnt even sure if i was going to be able to get the damn thing out (also quite painful) >:O.

what gives? can fiber help with this?

or just laugh at me :[

Fiber should clear things up.

Prunes or prune juice could help as well.

Caffeine has helped me. Not coffee, caffeine pills such as Vivran or Wake Up. You can get them OTC but for real, I take 2 or more pills and within 5-10min I have to shit a few times.

More fiber is the answer.

Fiber! Fruits, vegetables, and beans are filled with fiber, and you can even get some psyllium husk from GNC and mix it in your shakes for a few extra grams.

Yay fiber!

Reminds me of a House episode…

House: (toilet flushes) Hey! You know what a hemorrhoid is?
Kid: No.
House: Well, Google it. And try some Raisin Bran instead of the donuts.

If your eating enough food your probably getting in your fiber also.
I’m pretty sure your problem is that your not drinking enough water, aim for .5-1 gallon of water or more a day. I know around thanksgiving i didnt eat or drink much because of party food and the next day it took me forever to get it down the shitter. If you dont drink enough water, your body takes the water out of your poop.

More fiber+water

You might want to split up your meals too. If you just bumped up the calories by a bunch, and are still eating 3 times a day, that could be part of it. Plus what everyone else said: fiber (fruit helps a lot) and water.

for increased fiber, veggies, beans, or just buy “Fiber Choice” no sugar supplement… also, making Shugarts bread recipie with milled flax (75+ grams per loaf) and your all set…

Like others said though, remember, fiber is water soluable, make sure your getting a lot of water!

Try Benefiber and drink lots of water…your body will adjust and then you will be fine.
