Problems doing number 2 for a few months?
I' haven't had a nice solid bowel moving since probably before Easter. Right after Easter ingot food poisoning or something and had diarrheal for like 4 days. I thought after that maybe my bowel movements would get back to regular but theyve gone back to just pooping out pebbles like I'm a rabbit or something. I've tried taking fiber suppliments and eating more salad. I also stopped eating any gluten..this year my anxiety had skyrocketed to the point where I can't do some of the stuff unused to do without thinking twice about it. I heard anxiety can mess with your digestive system big time. Anyways..pretending I did t have anxiety an knowing that I've been taking fiber and eating salads a lot..what else could be causing my digestive issue?

The cause of constipation is far more likely to be diet related than anxiety related.
You need to permanently change your diet or you are likely to get colon cancer.
Constipation can make you extremely unwell and can lead to colon cancer as it causes a build up of carcinogenic toxins in the system.
Perhaps red meat is the culprit as in http://au.search.yahoo.com/search?p=%22red+meat%22... as it can take up to 3 days to go through the system.
The intake of foods such as milk, cheese, white rice, white flour and red meat should be restricted, because they tend to contribute to constipation.
Any food that has had the fiber stripped out, the nutrients processed out or slows down the digestion is a constipation culprit. Here's a list of foods shown to cause constipation problems:
•Meats, especially fatty meats, red meat and processed meats,
•Dairy Products, such as cheese, ice cream and whole milk,
•Fast Foods – burgers, French fries and other fried foods, pizza, etc.,
•Refined grains, like white rice or any refined white flour products,
•Highly starchy foods – white potatoes, corn and all refined grains,
•Pastries and other high sugar products, such as cakes, cookies and pies,
•Deep-fried foods, chips and other foods that are high in bad fats.
