Sudden constipation. Diet change?
-
I didn't change my diet (rice, some meat, carrot, oranged, and milk, and coke zero (sometimes I eat chocolate)) and I became suddenly constipated.
My digestion got better with low pufa but since a month ago it wne completely down hill.
The carrot salad helps in the moment but the problem persists.
Any advice on diet change? I took B1 and K2 a while ago but didn't notice any changes. Don't have access to T3 at the moment

I had a similar thing happen to me a few months ago, was maintaining a diet I'd had for months prior to constipation coming on. It was during winter and a number of things could have been causing it, but I think it was one of two things in my case - either a lack of vitamin D, which I was deficient in, or too much fat in my diet. I didn't realize that my carb and fat calorie intake was about the same, maybe even with fat being where most of my calories were coming from. Once I started putting what I was eating into the cronometer app, I started eating more carbs and cutting down on fat, and that, along with getting more vitamin D, seems to have helped somewhat significantly. I'm still having issues though, as I haven't found the right thyroid dosage to completely get me out of hypo symptoms, so some days are better than others, but at least I got it so I'm going every day again. Maybe play around with macro ratios, see if it'll help -
@Lucius-de-Geer did anything in your physical exercise change?
As soon as I took a desk job everything backed up. I believe simple body movement is a big part of stimulating the bowels to actually move. a short jog and some salty water works wonders.
