Low carb veg diet is giving me horrendous diarrhoea!

[JacqueslePeacock]

Any ideas why?? At this rate I will lose lots of weight just because I can't get out of the bathroom to eat anything.

Is it a massive diet change?

Vegetables do contain a lot of soluble fibre, and if you previously lived on meat and processed shit then your stomach might take a wee hwile to adjust.

If it s not uncontrolloble/uncomfortable I'd give it a few days and see if you adjust.

No, I've been vegetarian for years, and have never eaten much processed crap.

The odd thing is that I did the first three weeks on the diet fine. Then the diarrhoea started and I suffered it badly for a fortnight before giving up and eating lots of plain stodgy carbs (bananas, toast, rice, etc) for a week. I recovered beautifully and yesterday I restarted low carb. This afternoon the stomach pains have started and now the %#$%¥+~^ing diarrhoea is back. I am baffled.

Oh God - I am seriously unwell again today. I am going to have to quit this. Which is a real shame as I did brilliantly on it a few years ago (before DC) - lost weight very well and felt great. I just can't understand what's gone wrong.

After another couple of days off low-carb (with no stomach issues) I restarted the diet on Monday. Today I have been violently ill with stomach cramps, diarrhoea and nausea. WTF is wrong with my digestive system?

Today I have eaten:

• 2 boiled eggs
• small bowl mushroom soup
• 1 piece dark chocolate
• shredded kale salad
• 3 vegetarian sausages
• small portion of scrambled eggs
• half avocado

Is there anything in there that should be making me so sick???

Eggs can liquefy everything or completely set it solid). Do you normally have so many in your diet?

Also, are you drinking plenty of water?

No, I don't normally have eggs twice a day, but do normally have eggs for breakfast (am struggling to find vegetarian sources of protein otherwise). I thought eggs were generally binding though?

I'm drinking tons of water, yes. I always have had a minimum of 2 litres a day.
