Pages: 1 Frequent Bowel Movements from IBS diet       #211908 - 09/08/05 10:33 PM Edit Reply Quote IWC Reged: 09/08/05 Posts: 3 I recently began the IBS diet- been lots of squash, ricecakes, rice, papaya, tea. Although my frequent bloating, and gassiness, and lower abdominal pain have not yet crept up, I have been experiencing a frequent need to release my bowels. About every 2 to three hours, I am to the restroom for a brief release. The stool comes out easily enough (in a significant quantity) with a soft, fluffy-looking texture, and an orangish color? Is this supposed to happen? Will this continue to happen? What am I doing wrong?

Are you a D normally? Or a C? -------------------- Feel the fear and do it anyway!

I find it annoying to go more than once a day but it is healthy. I wouldn't worry about it. I bet it will even out like the excess peeing does after you get used to large quantities of water. -------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages: "You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

And yes, you're right about the clockwork thing! It's not annoying as long as you know there's an appropriate dumping ground. Kate.

I think that's actually very healthy and detoxifying for your body. and it will settle down soon. it did for me. -------------------- Keep on keepin' on...
