Eating veggies=quick to the bathroom?

[MRSchultz]

I've been eating very clean lately (for the past week and a half).......well, can eating so many veggies and fruit make have to 'run' to the bathroom?????? Is my body just getting used to all the good eating? I do have a few more tummy aches, too. Is that normal? I thought I might've had the flu, but now that it has kept up for a few days I'm thinking differently. I do feel MUCH better eating so clean, that's for sure (well, except for the little tummy aches)

Take care,
Marcia.

Marcia - it's absolutely normal for that to happen. Fruits and vegetables go through your system much more quickly than meats and denser foods

If your fiber intake has increased substantially, then your body has to get used to it before it settles down.

Also, some say that fresh fruits especially can make your body detox, and one way the body gets rid of toxins is through the elimination channels. (Notice how delicately I worded that!;-) )
