Bathroom question

I have been on IF for about a month and for about the last 4 days I have had a bowel movement. I don’t feel bloated and I’m not uncomfortable so I don’t think I’m constipated. I just haven’t had the need to go.

Now I know most people will say coffee. But one I’m not a huge fan of it and two that’s never really gotten thing going for me.

Any help?

Answer

I occasionally have this happen too. Mainly when I am at work or really in a rush. I tend to go after my first meal. I eat 2 huge meals in a 4-5 hour window. But life can keep me busy and I don’t go. Try gentle massaging, warm compresses, increase fiber, go easy on the stimulants and Miralax may help if it persists. Try to make time and effort if you feel the urge, but that is advice I don’t and can’t always follow. I tend to find that after too long my body takes care of it and I better find a toilet quick. Good luck it happens and I hope it resolves
