Why are my bowel movements like this

Date: August 12, 2015 02:27PM Hi. I just started a fully raw vegan diet a week ago. I've noticed a few days ago that my bowel movements are kind of hard to pass/kind of hard and small and aren't that frequent. I've been fully raw before and haven't had this happen. Can someone explain why this is happening and if it is normal? Re: Why are my bowel movements like this

Date: August 12, 2015 09:56PM I'm not eating a lot of nuts and seeds. Yesterday I had nothing but fruit and greens and my stools did not come out with ease. It was very disappointing. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 08/12/2015 09:57PM by Kalelord. Re: Why are my bowel movements like this

Date: August 13, 2015 04:11AM I recommend finding a mexican market, getting a giant aloe leaf and making a smoothie, blending no more than 10 seconds in the blender and drinking it down. See what happens the next morning. Only use the gel and do not blend any of the green skin. You can blend with water or with fruit juice, like orange and add fruit for sweetness, like mango, but only add a little fruit, or it will be too much to drink.
Another trick is to juice high oxalic acid containing veggies and greens. In herbalism, we have so many different type of laxatives. There is no ONE cause for constipation, even on the raw vegan diet. For example, blood deficiency, qi stagnation, yin or yang deficiency, dryness, and food stagnation. Harsh purgatives are one of only a dozen herbal strategies to combat constipation. One last trick is to soak yerba mate tea over night in water, as in a cold infusion. Green tea, coffee and Mate all have laxative functions. You will need at least 2 heaping tablespoons of Mate. Or try a sun tea. Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 08/13/2015 04:17AM by Tai.

My BM's are pretty normal now! What a relief. I am guessing that maybe I just had build up in my gut that took a little while to get out? I don't know, but everything seems to be traveling pretty smoothly now. Thank you Tai for the great info. Re: Why are my bowel movements like this
