How much liquid

Do most C people drink in a day...including tea? Does this include the water if you put your SFS in it? The Acacia seems to be making worse C....but maybe I'm not drinking enough??

Just a rough estimate would be helpful.

Thanks.

Lots! I start off the day with a full glass of soy milk or juice. I drink water constantly throughout the day. I drink extra water after I eat to help with the digestion. That's not counting the tea. When I'm physically active, I drink even more. Seems like a lot, but trust me, it helps. If it appears you're going to the restroom often, no worries; let your kidneys do their job to clean your blood.

i drink about 2.5 litres a day, the acacia didn't make me go, it made me stable enough to start adding in the IF, thats what made me go. the flax seed meal is great for that.

I'm not C, but I drink anywhere for 8 to 12 cups of liquid everyday - tea at work 2 to 3 cups, plus almost a litre of water (4 cups), then at home 2 to 3 huge glasses of juice in the evening, and maybe another cup of tea. My tea "cup" holds 1 3/4 cups of liquid.

i eat a ton of IF, if i listed my daily diet you might be shocked, but i am against sugar and any kind of white grains, they make me feel sluggish and yucky, if you want a day in the life idea i can give you an example, but be sure that i am not suggesting that you eat like i do, as i have my reasons for using some of heathers suggestions and not others. I am also basically a vegan, the part that doesn't fit is that i eat fish to get extra protein and to hep me gain weight. but no dairy, eggs or meat for me.

Honestly, if I could see what tweaking works for others, maybe it might help me. So far, doing the diet as is, isn't helping. I don't "think" I am getting enough IF...I'm not sure I get enough fat, and too many of the white products give me C. This is me, personally...

Go ahead and shock me! I need some tweaking!

It would be helpful to know how you prepare the foods too...like blending, peeling, etc.

Six to eight 8-ounce glasses of water daily basis PLUS the amount of water needed to dissolve the SF as directed on the package.

This does not include the water that is contained in the foods I eat most of which contain a significant amount of water too.

I honestly think I'm the person that drinks the most water in earth. I drink at least seven 25oz glasses of water a day!!!!! It takes that much to help me with C and incomplete evacuation.

Blessings,
Abi

breakfast is 3/4 cup nutty rice/nutty flax/oatmilletrice flakes (1 of the 3 rotated each morning) + banana or mango + rice or almond milk + hemp seeds + acacia (3 tsp)

then i take my multi, fish oils, magnesium, digestive enzymes and my medication.

Morning snack is a nectarine or 2 kiwis or a pear or berries, non peeled with a tbsp almond butter + a digestive enzyme

l-glutamine

Lunch is either a ... +digestive enzymes and iron pill

1> WW pita with hummus or beans or veggie pate, + cucumber + red pepper+ radish + carrot + spinach + hemp seeds or sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds.

2> Smoked tofu on sourdough spelt bread with mustard and the same veggies as above.

3> Grain or noodle cold salad with mixture of above veggies with either pasrley or celery added and beans and seeds too.

etc

second probiotic

Afternoon snack is usually 2-3 carrots with sun seedws or pumpkin seeds or hemp seeds of butters from the same seeds, but it is hard to find raw buitters. or a cherry pie larabar made from dates, almonds and cherries (can give me gas but i love them, i also make my own versions at home) or other bars i bake at home using oats as a base. + digestive enzymes

Dinner is .... + digestive enzymes + magnesium

L-glutamine

all right that was long, that is my typical menu that i rotate through, it quite limited as i am just startingto incorporate new recipes as i get more and more stable.
the supplements help alot and so do the meds that keep my anxiety and ocd about food and germs in check. I just reintroduced fish into my diet, beifre i was vegan for a year, but got waaay to skinny and felt weak. So there it is, like i said i don't recommend anyone here try my diet, it is veeery high in IF and could really hurt someone with D.
In general i only eat whole foods and avoid sugar and white bread like the plague. thats all for me for now, enjoy
