I have a problem, as the subject shows. I don’t know how to put it, but here I go.
Okay so I’m fairly young guy that enjoys bodybuilding so I know a higher protein consumption is require to build muscle, but I have been having problems and my doctor is telling me its my dairy but I have never had a single problem with dairy so I don’t listen to him. Back to the point, so every time I go to the bathroom I either have one of two things diarrhea or a pasty stool that leaves shit stains all over the toliet bowel. Looks as if I flush down 20lbs of melt chocolate bars. I rarely ever have a solid bowel movement. It doesn’t hurt I just wish it would be hard like normal stool.
Well, loose stool means your food is going through the digestive too quickly.
that could be a lack of fiber, or it could be a food that you’re sensitive to.
What’s your current eating look like?
Simplest thing would be to add more fiber like mentioned (fruits/veggies) and see what happens after a few days. If no change then look into your food choices and how they effect you.
Things it could be:
Lack of fiber (as noted)
Too much fiber too quickly (you just can’t go from 0-60 grams per day, ramp up)
Sensitivity
Intolerance
Allergy
Irritable bowel syndrome
Lack of healthy gut bacteria
Too much stress
Hard to tell with the information listed:
How long have you been working out?
When did this problem start?
Did cutting out dairy help?
Did you start a new supplement around the same time as the problem?
Did the frequency increase based on your training schedule?
Would you consider your life high stress?

Thats a average day. Wow I never wrote all that I eat… and I wonder why my shits have horns…
If you are prone to sweating alot (like me), you will need more water than usual. Also, IMO, not many things crap better than old fashioned oatmeal. I feel like my colon got the squeegee treatment afterwards.

Exactly. But I’m feeling bloated, fat, stomach (I think hurt I push something in my stomach and it hurts abit) and my bladder hurts. I think to much food and too much water.
im having a similar problem as well. my stool is not always pasty or anything but occasionally i get diarrhea. mostly happens when i drink my Surge or i am dehydrated. i would recommend adding in some yogurt to your breakfast and cut out some shakes. I will have to dry out some fiber though because i feels that my food is going to waste if i just piss it out of my ass.
