How To Get A Regular Bowel Movement?

Hi there,

Is it common after ending a high protein diet to have loose stool? I was doing low carbs, high protein along with psyllium husk or wheat bran and greek yogurt. I have stopped all of it and now it a regular diet but maintain eating the greek yogurt. I noticed in the past from eating milk shakes etc... that I may be lactose intolerant. During the protein diet I used lactose free milk. For at least 3 weeks my digestion has been really off. Lots of frequent bathroom visits all with fluffy loose liquid stool. I have been off the diet for 2 months since I lost the weight necessary. Help, I want a regular poo!!! thanks :) I am 47 and 150 lbs, 5'3"
