Question by Mike: New years resolution is causing diarrhea?
I used to be a caveman and lived on meat (well pretty much). But I did have some healthy habits like I ate oatmeal every week day mornings, and fruits every week nights. Weekday lunches and week-ends were full of red meats. Green vegetables were very rare. I made a new years resolution to eat less meat and in general less acidic food. So I replaced the weekday lunches and week-ends with food that usually had chicken and vegetables, and replaced my dinners with cucumbers, almond nuts, bananas or other high alkalizing foods. But now I have diarrhea. I am really enjoying my new diet because it is making me feel good and my pants seem to fit better, so I really want to stick to it. I did some research and learned that cucumbers, lettuce, broccoli, almond nuts etc. can cause diarrhea. Is there any other food that I can eat that will help neutralize these effects?

You need to balance your fiber intake. Eat whole grain bread, and watch your oil intake. It may not be the veggies, but perhaps what you eat with them that’s upsetting your system (like salad dressing or something like that). Drink plenty of water. Try eating some beans/lentils, and eat more bananas.
