Some days lately..i'll have 2-3 larger bm's at least. It worries me..I hope I am absorbing enough food and nutrients. Like today....

Things I do daily lately: Chlorella liquid,Turmeric,Milk Thistle,Grapefruit Seed Extract,Digestive Enzymes

Also..what is the use even eating nuts/seeds,etc if those small things dont get broken down,or do they? Stools always filled with them..

kds86,
bmovement is a good thing! Means a major detox pathway is opening up. As long as you're not having diarrhea, there's no indication of a lack of absorption.
As for visible bits of nuts and seeds... There may always be a bit of that, even for the healthiest people who eat nuts and seeds.. Don't sweat it. You're still getting nutrients. Of course the more you chew, the better your odds of best absorption... And of course soak & blend nuts and seeds for the absolute best absorption.

I buy over a pound of organic sprouted almonds to...and I only do sprouted quinoa/legumes..

kds,

dairy products can be the cause of constipation, so eliminating them can only help you to have more bm. Like Marigold said:I think it's a good thing!! Just drink enough water!
I have 2 bm's per day, it can be more. If I don't have them, I feel nauseous... I've had it all my life.

I experience the same thing on days when I'm really sick or herxing. Makes me think that it's my bodies way of trying to get rid of the toxins.

Not necessarily; it could also mean leaky gut, fast transit time of food and or candida.
If you're bm's are formed/rigid (not hard), then I would not worry. If they are loose (falling apart) and show any signs of food (only food you should ever see undigested is corn), then you're stomach is not absorbing food correctly.

Also, you should not take milk thistle and chlorella at the same time. And what digestive enzymes are you taking?

peace soul...I am doing enzymes 1-2 times a day now. Do and alternate a few enzyme brands..food pieces are in every movement I have. sooo...i dont know..i dont feel I am having trouble absorbing..


"would be wary of any diagnosis of leaky gut syndrome if you don't have inflammatory bowel conditions (Crohn's disease, celiac disease, irritable bowel syndrome), rheumatoid arthritis, or asthma."
