My basic diet is 2 fruits in the morning and 2 packets of healthy instant raisin oatmeal (long morning 5-11:30) Lunch: Usually soup (squash, sweet potato, or potato w/broccoli) or today I had healthy enchilada pie w/corn tortillas, black beans, refried veggie beans, onions, corn, salsa) Snack: HUGE (8 cup tupperware used and very packed) salad-mixed greens, carrots, tomatoes, red cabbage, zucchini, red bell pepper, 1/4 cup kidney beans, cucumber and a tiny bit of sliced beet and red onion Dinner-mashed red potatoes w/garlic, broccoli, veggie mushroom/onion gravy It seems that I am only going once every other day or every two days...this can't be right!!! I am trying to be gluten free as it was suggested to me and eat really healthy...not trying to lose weight and don't know if I have or haven't...pants feel a little looser but....anyway any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated

I suspect that this "problem" is just part of the transition. Maybe try drinking water and/or herbal teas throughout the day and see if that helps. Hope things get moving soon All we are saying is "Give Peas a Chance"

If they're really hard or really loose, or if you are constipated, then you may have a problem; otherwise, your body's just doing its thing at its own pace.
