Hi Mary,
I don't know where in Europe you are going but I know in GB Pepto (usually liquid form but I have never looked for tabs) is readily available over the counter!

Less-than-perfect BMs probably indicate something in your diet that doesn't agree with you.


I know that, it's just trying to figure out what it is. I keep telling myself I'm going to start a food diary again and then don't.

I just pulled out a blank menu planner from the LEAP program and will start tomorrow writing down everything I eat. I am doing Paleo without eggs. Also no chicken, or beef. Absolutely no grains even corn & rice. Lots of cooked vegetables. Very limited fruit. No nightshades.

Sometimes I make a smoothie for breakfast and throw in hemp seeds, flax seed meal, or chia seeds for added protein. I am wondering if it might be one of those. Maybe too much fiber in them?

I've cut out almonds as I eat too many and they came out undigested. Use almond milk for cooking and canned coconut milk for making yogurt. I even made ice cream once with coconut milk. It was great right out of the ice cream maker but when I put it in the freezer it got as hard as a rock.

Well, flax seed meal is listed as a laxative on many home remedy type websites.
Concerns

Taking excessive amounts of flaxseed meal can have a laxative effect on the body, due to a combination of the fiber and oil contained in the meal.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

@Anne....I will try my best...lol! I know it's best to look so I can advise my doctors. I suppose the more I do it, the more I'll get used to it. Thanks.
