bellabella, I did a quick search and here's what I learned can cause loose stools...
- increase in fat intake
- citrus fruits (due to fiber content)
- sorbitol, common in sugar-free gum, also found in some sweetners
- increase in grains or vegetables (due to fiber content)
- beans (due to indigestible sugars, always soak dry beans for a minimum of 4 hours then pour off water)
- cabbage, broccoli, and other cruciferous vegetables, due to same indigestible sugars, also due to fiber content)
- fructose
- dairy, if lactose intolerant - (an over the counter enzyme is available for those who lack the enzyme needed to digest lactose)
I intermittently have problems with many of the foods on this list, but it's usually when I eat more of the food than is typical for me in a day or over a period of days. With the exception of a few foods, eggs come to mind, I try to eat a variety of foods throughout the week. I also try to eat fat, protein, and "LCHF approved carbs" at each meal, but I'm only a week into this. It's possible I may begin having problems in time.
One suggestion would be to daily journal foods eaten and symptoms as they occur to figure this out.
I'm hoping others will comment too.
