I am an A, and I found that I usually HAVE to have an insoluble with breakfast. SOMETIMES I can have a BM after oatmeal, applesauce, and tea, but not always. I usually have a luna bar shortly after breakfast, so I get insoluble nuts and such in that way, then I can go (If I had a fully soluble breakfast).
Things that work for me in the morning... frozen blueberries in oatmeal, pears in oatmeal, sometimes mango in oatmeal, kiwi or strawberries in kix cereal. I also take my acacia at night in water and in the morning mixed in my breakfast, it seems to give me the extra *push* when I take it in more lumped amounts (1 TB at night, one TB in the morning)
I know fibercon can sometimes help when I am Cish. or ginger (crystallized or pickled). TOo much insoluble by itself can have the opposite effect I found, like eating a huge salad after only a little bread. Drinking lots of water also helps, or maybe even exercising. Bananas that are more brownish can, but might kickstart D. The more yellow/green ones may make you more C.
These situations always suck, cause when you are D predominant (like me) and you turn A it is such a delicate balance betweem being too C and getting D. If you let C happen for too long it can make you D... so frustrating!
maybe try a bean based dinner ? (just make sure that they are pureed) Or lentils? Sometimes I found when I plop in a food that I haven't eaten for awhile it can produce automatic BM, but when I consistently eat it, my system gets "used" to it. Good luck, I know that this is so frustrating. SOmetimes regardless of what we can do our bodies seem to decide for themselves when they need to go!Remember that you DO have to take it easy! I know this is weird, but sometimes meditating can help me out.
