I saw a doctor last year, he advised the whole fibre, lots of water, fruits and vegitables thing to me.
I started on the laxatives thing becasue i was getting constipated on a regular basis after i stopped my martial arts clases and not because I had some weight problem.
I literarilly drink gallons of water. May be 'd increase my fibre intake again.
Thank you guys
I think you need to see a doctor. I have had simular problems for years. Went to gastroenterologist. Did endoscopy--had gastritis. Had colonoscopy. For the bloating he told me to do yogurt with lactobacilus acidophyllis. (I ate 2-3 containers per day for maybe 2 weeks) Did wonders. Also, I do one bowl of high fiber cereal per day and now it is amaging-haven't taken a laxative for 2-3 months. Also, he told me that I had lactose intolerance. No milk products. I drink soy milk. Good luck.
