Hi guys,
Basically, i have been struggling with bowel movements recently and it's causing me concern. I have been a little stressed out and anxious recently, but i still exercise fairly frequently and i drink lots of water. I guess one thing i have neglected in my diet recently is plenty of fibre, but since yesterday i am starting to correct this by eating plenty of fibrous foods, including fruit, pulses etc.
I am still yet to get plenty of fibre, but i am doing okay i guess :yesyes: but the last time i opened my bowels was a couple days ago and it wasn't much, which was surprising given the amount i had eaten. I have been consuming a lot of protein recently because i am trying to get in shape as i am slightly overweight and i have heard how protein can contribute towards constipation so that's why a high fibrous diet is also imperative.
Should i give this high fibre diet a go for another week then see how i am? I am passing gas regularly enough, so hopefully this is a sign that i will open my bowels ASAP.
Has anyone experienced similar before and am i worrying unnecessarily? It doesn't help when i have anxiety, then i'm concerning myself over this stuff.
