So…I've been taking Natural Calm all day today and I haven't “gone” even after eating my CN Dinner!? At least 3-4 Tsp 3x today!

Honestly, I rarely go during a carb nite. The next morning... Now that's another story.

Mhmm you know, that might happen to me tomorrow. I hope it's not during my gym time, I'll doing Bench Max Effort...so the added "pressure" might be a concern ;D
I workout at home and I hate it when I have to go. Seems to always hit me after the first set of dead lifts. Kills my pump!RB

Yes...happened to me after Deads too... Kinda sucks when you're doing great and don't want to stop and then it hits you...

I always try to get plenty of coffee in me so I hit the head before I start lifting, haha.
The best way I find to get yourself off fiber. If you are used to consuming 30+ g of fiber everyday, you probably developed a lazy colon. Gradually reduce your fiber intake down to about 10 g a day and you should be good. Going cold turkey on fiber isn't a very good idea. It gave me major issues.
Yeah I don't eat any veggies for fiber…but my problem is probably the ton of sweet potatoes cooked in variations of foods recipes I ate
Ok, so I have read a few articles and am following the “You Are What You Absorb” article by Meadows. I am taking 500mg betaine HCL and that bifidus(whatever it is) stuff with every meal for approx. 3 weeks now. I am also taking approx 5g of pmega 3 per day. Absorption has changed for sure and stool consistency is soft but I am still stretching out to 3 days between movements, and when they do come they are not substantial. What's the next step?RB
Well betaine hcl and bifidus probably isn't gonna help with constipation. Are you taking any of the fiber supps or magnesium?
Yah, sorry. I am taking 600mg mag citrate before bed. Also, I am eating a “greens only” meal as my second meal. Just some spring mix and red/orange peppers and cucumbers. Basically a light salad for some ruffage. I also try to eat veggies with each meal. Either broccoli, asparagus, or spinach.RB

You might want to increase fiber intake or take a fiber supplement like that Triple Fiber stuff. I hear a lot of people on here say that you don't need fiber, but the fact is a little bit helps with most people. I have noticed really good bowel function when my fiber intake is between 10-15 g. Maybe try getting that much in.I see you are consuming some vegetables, but I would try eating more dense veggies like brussel sprouts and broccoli. They tend to be a bit more fiber rich than greens, which tend to only have a gram or two per serving.
I was only concerned with becoming fiber dependant if using a suppliment. Should I be concerned?RB
I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you aren't taking 20 g of fiber from a supplement a day you will be fine. You won't need much, just 5-10 g or so. Just stay away from Psyllium.Also eating a couple servings of nuts will help.

I always see the advice for nuts, what's the reasoning behind it? I am constantly fighting to keep bowel movements regular its really annoyingSent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk 2
