Good ideas to keep bowels regular??(besides metamucil shit dont work for me)

[sbamb111]

Here lately I have been staying backed up and im guessing its due the the lack of fats/and or red meat in my diet. I am 5 weeks out from my show and my diet is extremely clean and I just cannot seem to stay regular even with ample amount of fiber in my diet. Any suggestions that anyone else uses?

I purchase bulk psyllium fiber from bulkfoods.com. I then mix 2 teaspoons of psyllium fiber into my whey protein shakes. Works like a charm. Just my .02

Does that keep you bloated like that shitty ass metamucil or just regular?

Metamucil is a water soluble fiber whereas psyllium is a bulk forming fiber. It doesn't cause me bloat and it keeps me very regular...like clockwork. If you go this route, don't overdo it, the stuff is VERY effective...LOL!

Acidophilus is great for those issues and over all intestine/ organ health you can get it at any health food store it has active good bacteria in it go for the 15 billion unit bottle they also carry 10 billion and 12 billion but the 15 billion is the best it's pretty cheap to under 20$ saved my life when I was having really bad bloating / stomach cramps over all my stomach was fucked this shit works! Go for a digestive enzyme aswell it'll help break down your food and absorb better into your body

sounds to me like you could use pro biotics as well.

if you have ever used anti-biotics before you definately should run a round of pro biotics. NTBM has a good one or you can spend more money on pro biotic drinks from a health food store.

coconuts and sulfur free apricots will get your bowels moving, they are natural lax

all of these options steve gave you are excellent...

prune juice is another that will have you in there as well... corn will also... lolllll

these should all be helpful to you though man...

Man I wish I was in your situation. I am going way too much, and I am not talking about the healthy types.
