Anyone else getting the runs?

My stomach is not doing well. Anyone else having this problem?

How much of the vitamins and minerals are you taking in everyday? Are they spread out or 1-2x's a day? Some amount are to high for some people and others have to spread it out over 3-6x's a day.

Many extremely over weight people (like my family) talk about the runs when dieting. This is sometimes because your body is loosing the extra crap it no longer needs. If you are used to 2500-3000+ cals a day your body still wants that when you start dieting so it takes your fat and that is how you loose weight faster.

I have been spreading out my pills throughout the day.

I always take in less then 1700 calories a day, now it is probably around 1300. Hmmmm....I hope it means the diet is working.

Are you eating more fruits or veggies that can cause the runs? If you are not used to a lot of lets say berries and now you eat it everyday then the runs just come with that.

I am starting to think it is the strawberries. I only eat them in the summer, and although I love them, I have never eaten them this often. I have always been a very healthy eater. Well balanced diet, low in fats, etc. I think the change is just starting to make my body a bit nuts.

Maybe try a little less berries or spread it out.

I've read that too much magnesium can have that effect - might be something to check.

I've also read that, atomic says reduce magnesium straight away if you get the runs

I am not getting the runs but go more often then I'd expect for someone who is eating so little fiber-so you're not alone, I personally think it may be the increased magnesium...am considering cutting my pills in half.

I had this yesterday shortly after I read this! I'm thinking magnesium too (which I'm actually thinking of cutting out anyway).
