opposite of constipation?

I see a ton of posts about constipation but I'm completely the opposite. I've been pretty regular my entire adult life and lately (tmi) less solid than normal. Today I bet I've been on the toilet 10 times.

Anyone else dealing with loose stools? I'm happy I'm not straining or backed up but just curious if I'm the only one not constipated yet!

    I too lean toward the anti-constipation. I took bisacodyl (Dulcolax) for the two weeks after my IVF retrieval and that helped with the constipation related to the anesthesia. I have tried to not continue it since I'm having the opposite problem. I think mine is diet related. I also have Celiac's and so it's a chance that I've been slightly glutened. You could try reducing dairy or fat in your diet and see if that helps any.

    Make sure you're getting adequate fiber (yes, it can help) and maybe put some cheese in your belly today.

    I have a nice mix of constipation and the opposite of constipation. I'm stopped up for a few days, have one good day of poopin, then a few days of loose stools, then back to constipation. It's pretty awesome.

    So far I've had that issue too. Bad enough that I keep a bowl in the bathroom for morning sessions of potty use and morning sickness lol :p

    Yep. I've never had constipation issues while pregnant and always end up with loose stools instead. It's just as bad. :(
