HELP - tricky topic - Bowels....
I know this isn't the nicest thing to talk about but i'm in my 4th week of the program and for the second time in 2 weeks have violent "urgent" run to the toilet needs.... is this a common thing while on the program? is there something i should be eating more of, i eat an apple a day for fibre as directed, but clearly this isn't enough. I thought only constipation was possible occurance..... Please Help... not feeling too good  Susie

Re: HELP - tricky topic - Bowels....
as a short answer, I would have to think it is either the sweetener or soft drink sweetener that you are using or you have a tummy bug. If you arent using sweetener , it will have to be gastro HTH

Re: HELP - tricky topic - Bowels....
I'm not using any sweetner and this is the second time i've had it in the 4 weeks. Before Cohens i had constipation alot due to IBS now i seem to have the opposite. I don't feel unwell and it only seems to last a day....

Re: HELP - tricky topic - Bowels....
Hi SusieQ,
I have experienced this also... a little bit this time (but also when I completed Cohens in 2008 ). I expect it's possibly due to the increase in water intake, and possibly your body doing its detox thing..?? I am no physician, however I do have a good understanding of nutrition & physiology... so I expect that when we start to rid our bodies of fat, it is either metabolised or 'passed'. I have been told that after Day 21 on Cohens, the body starts to burn fat & rid itself of the fat more readily, so it may well be this. If you've ever heard of Xenical (a drug prescribed to prevent fat absorbtion), then the symptoms are the same - urgent runs to the loo with little warning, and certainly no time to look around leisurely for an appropriate spot (very tricky when out shopping!!)...!!! I hope it settles down for you, but I do think it's part of the process.  Ruby

Re: HELP - tricky topic - Bowels....
Me too.....I am on week 3 and at least once a week (it happened again today for the third time since starting Cohens)..My tummy feels incredibly uncomfortable and I have to go RIGHT NOW!..
I was wondering if it was the sweetener thing, or is it part of the process?????
