does anyone else's digestive system get messed up when they diet? I feel much more bloated than usual. It's kind of embarassing and uncomfortable.

Mine does, ......mostly when I eat a lot of salads, and a lot of fruits.
I am not sure if it is normal or not!

I find that if I have a "treat" meal such as Chinese...I get extremely bloated...and lots of stomach pain. I've begun to wonder if I have IBS..it's usually after a larger meal than what i'm used to eating. It's gotten so bad that I have to come home after eating out and now I just try to avoid eating out altogether...which in the long run is a good thing .

If I don't drink enough water I feel bloated. If I eat a large meal out, or any fried foods and drink diet soda I get really bloated and constipated. I drink 10 glasses of water or tea a day now which helps me.

I'm the same......very often feeling bloated and constipated.......sorry for being too honest

Oh yes, totally agree with Badgerette - water helps me to deal with the first thing.
In the morning I'm trying to have the All Bran cereal - it helps me with the second thing

*raises hand*

Me, me!

Been upping the fiber and the water but eh... things have still slowed down in certain departments. Usually I'm bloated after salty meals. It's hard to be on a diet and watch sodium too because frozen dinners used to save my butt from calorie ****.

If I dont drink enough water. And if I have too much fiber. I have had digestive problems since ive had children though.
