I found this an issue when I first started the LCHF diet. After a couple of weeks things do get back to normal in my experience.

Not uncommon. if things become really uncomfortable Google vitamin c flush. it really does what it says on the tin. it took me five tea spoons before I ran to the toilet. good times.

Or try Psyllium Husk. Works well and more natural or should I say normal. Anyway it's good x

lots of water will do it too

1 put a tbsp of ground flax seed in my porridge (or in my soup if I'm not having porridge) every day. It has a pleasant nutty taste and is rich in fibre and omega 3. You need to drink plenty of liquid too.

Be careful of too much fibre because it will bung you up even more. Are you taking codeine? That will possibly be the cause?
