Guest guest Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Hi all, For the past few days since I started SCD, I've been feeling very constipated. I am eating a lot of fiber, much more than it sounds like most of you are eating. My stomach is much bigger than it usually is, and only a small portion of that is gas. Any ideas on what this is?Alyssa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Mara,Thanks for the input! I didn't know too much fiber could lead to constipation. Could you explain?Alyssa> Hi all,> For the past few days since I started SCD, I've been feeling very > constipated. I am eating a lot of fiber, much more than it sounds > like most of you are eating.

The intro and stage 1 diet consistsmainly of soft foods, so you shouldn't be having too much fiber to eat.It could just be a change in gut behavior, meaning the diet is effective, and the C will passin a few days.Or it could mean you are eating too much fiber.Mara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the book " Fiber Menace " but I haven't read it yet.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Oh man, I just looked at the preview and reaad parts of it online. Let me know what you find out from reading it! It's a little distressing from what I've read. It's so hard to know if you're doing the right thing!ALyssaOn Fri, Apr 3, 2009 at 6:39 PM, Alyssa Luck <luckycharmsnc (DOT) rr.com> wrote:>> Thanks for the input!
