I am going through a phase where my bowel movements are like little goat terds...well, actually I dont know what a goat terd looks like, but they arent how they have been in the past when I have been eating high fiber foods. I am wondering why that is. I am not 100% raw yet, but working furiously to cut out my last remaining addiction of french toast sticks...anyways, I digress. My question is why have my bowel movements been different lately, resembling that of a totally cooked me rather than a mostly raw me??? :confused:

I'm thinking it's all part of the detoxing process. You figure - your intestinal tract is how long? And how many little nooks and crannies? You'll go through all different shapes, sizes, colors, textures, etc.
Sit back and (ahem) enjoy!
I'm 100% raw - 11 weeks now and every once in a while it throws me for a loop, but it's leveled out.
Goat terds, eh?
EEwwww!!!
But you know? You bring up an interesting point. Look at the all the different kinds of terds in nature. Rabbits, small, round. Fox - full of berries and like a dogs - deer, bigger, like a rabbits, BUT they are consistently the same because of their diet! Right?
But um, do us a favor? Don't take pictures!!! lol :eek:

These detox symptoms are (while a disgusting topic) so much easier to handle than my original detox symptoms of monster headaches...Wow, I feel pretty blessed! :)

Oh yeah! Your body will go through many changes. Are you planning on going 100%? Once you do, you'll level out.
I know about headaches. I'm 52. I've had migraines my entire life. Whole life! Forever! Coming home from sunday school, crying, going to bed with a migraine. Since going raw - NONE! WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

I am so glad your migraines are gone! That is a definite reason to celebrate!

You said it!!! I keep waiting for one to creep up on me. I don't think (pray) it won't. Eating raw just makes sense, doesn't it?
