The DS will cause constant diarrhea?

[Terri]

I am only 11 days out but what a difference in my bowels. I have had IBS for years and for the last year was on Metformin. I was always on the toilet and many, many times didn't quite make it. I would have to go sometimes halfway through a meal, talk about appetizing! Right after surgery I didn't go for 4 days. Since then I have went 1-2 times a day. It is great.

I do have one question though. Where does all this POOP come from? There seems to be much more coming out than going in, just saying!

Good Luck! Many people say it is something they never would have thought of.

I truly believe it all depends on what the post DS'er eats or doesn't eat unless there is some underlying problem. If I eat a lot of carbs, either fruit or starch, it's a problem. On the other hand if I am low on liquid and fat it goes the other way. Anytime someone starts this argument with me I ask them what they are eating and they change the subject.

So far eliminating carbs and sugar have cut my bathroom trips in half. But I have also lost 4 pounds in 9 days. I'm still quite liquid form so on Friday I am going to keep sugar out delete most dairy and add a few carbs. Less than 20 grams to start. We will see how this is working. So far so good.

9days into elimination diet. Doing ok . Have cut my bathroom trips in half. Still somewhat loose. Friday I am omitting most dairy and adding about 20grms of carbs and still no sugar other than a slice of fruit every now and then.I have lost another 4 pounds. Wasn't really expecting that. Doing this mainly to quit the gurgling in tummy, gas and loo sy goody bowels. Keep you posted.
