That's what's been happening to me lately and I couldn't figure out why I have these hard dried up BM This sheds some light! My BMs are usually good, but this dried up thing happens every now and then, and this time it's lasted for about a week and I feel somewhat constipated and bloated. But why then does it happen sometimes and not always? You can have enough HCl some times and not enough other times? I've been eating really well, lots of veggies, little meat, some fruits, some sprouted bread... The only thing I can think of that's slightly different is I've been eating a lot of veggie soups (I've been craving warm meals and feel like having cooked veggies rather than raw, but still eat some raw). I also had my 1st liver flush 2 weeks ago. I wonder if any of these things could have affected my HCl levels.
Thanks for the clue, been unhappy and puzzled about my BMs.
What kind of supplement do you take?
