293/365 Got Loose Stool? Here's What to Do!

Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,

I apologize if this post is too personal for some of you but I had to address it; it was the cause for my lack of posting these last couple days. I'm not sure what I did or what I ate but something didn't agree with me and left me with a yucky, bloated, uncomfortable feeling in my bowels. I would hate for this to happen to one of you so I'm addressing it now.

The first thing you should do is take a few days off from exercise. Running and other bouncing can upset your body very much and delay your recovery. You've also got to change your diet until you feel better. Get yourself some oatmeal, white bread, white rice, applesauce, bananas, plain pasta, and jello. You need foods that are easy to digest. Foods with fiber and fat are NOT your friend. Creamy foods (except for yogurt) are also your enemy. Until you haven't had diarrhea for at least 24 hours, I would stick to the diet and taking it easy. Also, stay hydrated!! G2 is okay by me in this situation.

Thanks to my parents' advice, I am back in business and went running (at a slower pace) today. The 10K Train is back on track!

In health,

Lauren
