Your body needs things that it cannot make itself. It cannot make vitamins -- that was the original definition of vitamins, before it got more complicated. You need a small amount of dietary fat each day, that your body can't get any other way. We need to get calcium from food or supplements, or our body will take it from our bones to support more important uses.
Protein is made up of amino acids, and there are essential amino acids that must be eaten. If you don't, your body will break down your muscles to get those amino acids. Once it has used skeletal muscles, it will start using heart muscle. Not a good thing.
Carbohydrates are nothing but energy. We need zero carbs, because we have lots of energy stored in fat. That's what body fat is for.

Just wondering if it can be the carbonyl-iron your taking if your taking it..... This stuff makes me burn like fire in my private area to where I have to sit on frozen vegtables contiuously all day long.... It took me over a year to figure out what was doing it to me.... the docs didnt know either.... I was taking five a day now I take one or two.... if im not use to taking it, it will hurt my stomach for a few days..... Im just wondering if this could be a possibility..? here is an article I found.... http://www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/carbonyl-iron

I am only 6 months out but I noticed the more sugar I have the worse I get bloated or have horrible gas. I chocolate candy or some I can have 4 small chocolates and I'm in horrible pain and have to go to the bathroom for hours!!!! I try to stay away. I have 2 splendas in a large cup of tea and have 2 a day at work or low sugar hot chocolate. I usually add protien powder to it cause less stomach pain. I have a problem with going #2 myself. My DR said its ok to go once or twice a week, I go more if I eat food I'm not supposed to eat. If you continue to have pain go and see a Dr for a check up to make sure everything is ok. Good luck.
Oh, sometimes I skip a day or 2 without protein powder if I have been constipated for too many days and my stomach hurts.
For food delivered pro-biotics, I can tell right away from the odor and consistency in my stool. My energy level also increases. The beverage I'm talking about is by Bragg (they also do organic apple-cider vinegar with live mother). You can get them at Whole Foods, I know.

Here is what I'd recommend. Do an elimination diet. Start with nothing but pure protein for a few days. See if the "issues" go away.
As for fiber/no fiber/enema's etc.
I would HIGHLY recommend finding a way to get of long term antibiotics. I know it was a "thing" 10 years ago-but it's not wise. I eat a lot of fiber foods- so I take Magnesium oxide everyday at night. Sometimes I add in a stool softener. I tried Miralax...and I found the magensium worked better for me. I take 400 MG at bed time.

Early out, I added a bit of cocoa powder to cut the sweetness to the shakes, and I had to drink them super cold, it also cut the sweetness. Now they don't bother me at all.

I did hear of a frozen probiotic that received good reviews. Do you take a special formula?
I can't eat sugar. It gives me terrible diarrhea. At first I was mad and would have sugary stuff anyway, but I quickly learned that it would just make me miserable. Now diet coke actually tastes good.
Probiotics make a huge difference! My GI system is so much happier with a probiotic. Seriously invest in some.
Yes! Many reasons -- I'm not a doctor, but this is what I know:
You need protein to keep your muscle (or build more)
Muscle burns more than fat -- and looks better too :)
Protein keeps you fuller and doesn't cause cravings like carbs do

Mixing sweetner with the sugar is a great idea. I have read so many articles that say pro-biotics don't stay in our system to actually do anything. That's what I mean, Docs say one thing and then the opposite. But, I take your personal experience more seriously. My husband text me and asked if I wanted anything from the store. I gave in and said Equal, lol. I do eat yogurt nearly everyday, but I will make more a point of it. I didn't think it would help because of the dairy aspect. I will look for one of those fermented drinks, I guess homemade hooch doesn't count :)
