Side effect of becoming vegetarian?!


Question: Side effect of becoming vegetarian!?
I make bowel movements 2 times as much!. I used to go only once a day, maybe twice when I eat something disagreeable but now I go about 3 or even 4 times a day! I guess with all the fiber intake it makes sense but is there any way to slow it down!? How many times do you go!? This is not a trolling question, please don't report it!.!. thanks!Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Your body's getting used to the added fiber!. Give it a week or two and it will most likely regulate itself!. Try taking in more starches and carbs, that may slow down the frequency of your bowels!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Your body may just be purging itself of all the backed up stuff in it from your previous diet which lacked enough fiber!. Give it a week or two and if you're still going more than three times a day consider eating less fiber!. It's really healthy to go a few times a day though so it's nothing dangerous!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Twice as often is normal, but 3 or 4 times a day is a bit much!. Your system may still be adjusting to your diet change!. Like others have said, you may want to include more starch with your fiber!.
