Guest guest Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Hello. I've been on the diet for 3 weeks 1 day so far. I've been having diarrhea or something close to it for almost the entire 3 weeks. I've done low carb diets before without this reaction so I figure it's got to be one of the supplements. These are the supps I'm taking so far: CLO-fermented Green Pastures Butter Oil Vitamin C- 500 mg Calcium- 600 mg Magnesium- 600 mg Vitamin E- 400 IU Coconut oil- 2 Tablespoons I cut out the coconut oil for 2 days, and I still had diarrhea so I don't think it's the coconut oil. I was thinking maybe the magnesium, but if I go off calc/mag I'll get leg cramps. I tried going off of it for 1 day, and the next day my calf was hurting. I'm soooooo tired of having diarrhea, and a gurgling tummy. Does anyone have any ideas what it could be? Thanks for any info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 I've also had diarrhea....had it for a couple of months when I initially started and then, it stopped for awhile. Now I have it again....just recently in the last couple of weeks. But no problem really. Not pleasant but I know it's my body detoxing and it's not painful so I'm ok with it. I also have the rumbling tummy from time to time. Hang in there....it will stop eventually. > > > > Hello. I've been on the diet for 3 weeks 1 day so far.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Hi , As wrote, diarrhea or loose stools is one way for your body to detoxify so it's best not to alter your supplements to try to make it stop. I've had loose stools for almost the entire time I've been on Bee's program, which is 2.5 years. I feel better after a bowel movement - like a release of toxins - so I see it as a good sign. I haven't suffered any ill effects from the loose stools, only improvement. Hang in there! (a group moderator) > > Hello. I've been on the diet for 3 weeks 1 day so far.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Hi , I'm experiencing the loose stools too. My gut is rumbling and bloated (or maybe I'm gaining weight). I think it's from the magnesium too because I've never ever had diarrhea like this before and magnesium is definately a new substance I'm taking. Actually all the supplements are new...vit. C, niacin, nutrional yeast, etc.. I go 10 times a day. This doesn't seem healthy at all especially because the stools look like they're little ropes instead of a formed solid stool.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 I could relate to what your going through. My stools are also extremely loose and come out like little threads or ropes. Something that helped me was reducing my vitamin c intake. I reduced it from 4g a day to 2g, and my stools are normal. You could try doing that and slowly increase it. > > Hi , > > I'm experiencing the loose stools too. My gut is rumbling and bloated (or maybe I'm gaining weight).

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 o, That's a thought. I have an infection in my sinus initiated by a tooth extraction and I've been taking about 6 g. a day. Maybe it's the vit. C. Everything matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 , Bee does say that you should take up to 4g per day - or to bowel tolerance. As soon as you start to get loose stools you should knock back to the previous level of tablets. Vitamin C is renowned for that in larger doses. Magnesium Oxide will cause D because it is not readily absorbed by the body and goes straight through drawing water with it as it goes. But the Magnesium Citrate is far better absorbed and should not cause any bowel issues at all. > > > > o, > > That's a thought.
