Because you ate too much at the one time probably. Start off slow and build it up.

I have IBS and I have to be very careful. Three times in 40 mins would be my ideal day. More like three times in ten mins some days.

Sift fruits like strawberries and raspberries are easy on the tummy as they don't have the hard skins that are difficult to digest and too bulky.

Ah well there you go, it's grazing on raspberries and white currants around our garden that I've been doing  as well as eating freshly podded peas ..........

 .  I have either got bowel cancer, piles or have eaten beetroot    .  Crikey. 

Any news JustJules?

[Cassie]

Well the other day when you mentioned you had devoured a whole beet, I wanted to say oooh pink poo, but thought better of it...that will teach you...

[CLKD]

   I've had 2 more since then  .... home grown, organic ...... no additives etc..  Have felt queasy since though, as it was a bit of a rush 

[Mbrown001]

Have to say I'm not surprised. All things in moderation CLKD.

I wonder what fibogel DOES actually do for your compost 

[CLKD]

But what is moderation 

[Mbrown001]

Well maybe not more that one fresh beetroot at a time 

[CLKD]

You don't know the size of our beets though 

[Cassie]

I just had a delish beetroot and feta cheese salad...

[CLKD]

That's brave Cassie 

[Cassie]

I hope I dont poo pink...

[CLKD]

I've eaten another home grown beet - will make more note of how long it takes to pass through.  When I found 'blood' coloured poo I was quite shocked  .  although my brain was saying "it's beetroot" ........

How are *U* JustJules?

have had bowel problems for a few years now( when i need to go I need to go now) no time to wait. had operation seven weeks ago to repair sphincter muscle and vaginal wall as doc hoped this would help at least give me more time, but no such luck . was back at hospital for check up on wednesday and as far as surgeon is concerned he has done all he can, told me to go on no fibre diet, ie no weetabix, brown bread etc but I explained to him that I am diabetic and last time i tried this my sugars were raised. I can't win  . so it's either high sugars or running to the loo

Yammy1 - If you contact one of the Charities, it may be the Chrons' group, you can have a card to show ladies in public loos stating that you need to go now!  Do your bowels open at a 'regular' time so that once you've been that's *it* for the day or do they catch you out?  Has the Surgeon offered a Specific Nurse to talk with, also there may be specific pads which could be free on the NHS.  If you don't ask you don't get ;-).

Do you have a diabetic nurse for support?     

Mine rarely feel empty ...... though having jumped out of bed this morning and sitting for 20 mins. whilst my bowel got going, they actually felt less 'heavy' if that makes sense?
