So I've noticed recently that whenever I eat certain carbohydrates like bread, pizza or chips that the next day I will have painful stools. The stool will be painful to pass and hard to push out almost like it's stuck. This then causes me to get hemorrhoids and anal fissures. I've been eating salads recently and trying to cut carbs out of my diet which seems to be help but is this a normal problem? Obviously I know bread and pizza isn't exactly healthy but should my body be reacting in this way? My partner can eat as much bread or pizza as he wants and doesn't suffer on the toilet the next day. Does my body have some inability to properly digest carbs? Any advise would be a huge help. Thanks!
I can’t answer whether it is normal, but I can tell you it isn’t just you. I’m the same. My theory is that the refined white carbs crowd out better sources of fibre. I have found that eating berries with yogurt and All-Bran every morning for breakfast (well 5-6 times a week) and making sure I get a serving of leafy greens once a day is enough to make it so I don’t need to overly pay attention to the rest of my eating during the
day (though for the sake of good nutrition I do try to get a variety of veggies).
i am the same!
I’m the same, our body changes through the years, what I could eat 3 years ago today I can only look, pizza pasta and all the white bread.. Don’t know why but look at it as a benefit for your health, I think it’s the way of our bodies to tell us this kind of food is not for us anymore, sure you can grab a bite and taste it, but that’s it.
There’s alot of other tasty food you can eat. Eventually the doctor will tell you this kind of food will kill ya. So.. You’re not alone.
