Bowel Seems to Fill Up
Oct 22, 2019
I seems to "fill up" and then food and a fair amount of water coming pouring out.
If I stick to mostly meat I have less water but still it all comes pouring out mid morning and late evening.
I guessing much is malabsorbtion based but will sticking a mostly meat and veggies diet alleviate.
When I'm "filled up" I get very lethargic and don't function well.
So I'm hoping to find an eating strategy where I don't "fill up" and avoid the lethargy.
Best,
DC
