problems with mass-eating

[Growinboy]

hey bros... Im about 295 now, still playing football, and im hoping to hit 320 in the next couple months... but Im having some problems...lol. Lucky, I know you told me its healthy to shit regularly, but this is ridiculous... Im shitting 4-5 times a day! and dont even talk to me about gas... I cant do anything anymore without blowing enough gas out to pop a balloon. I did increase my fiber at the beginning of football season... my carbs as well. My other main problem, that really bothers me more than the crapping every couple hours, is the heartburn! I go through more tums than a pregnant woman! Does anyone else have regular heartburn when they are bulking? I DO eat more than anyone I know... except Lucky... (Im not eating that much until I try to hit 350lbs!) Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Or is this just the price i have to pay? <img border="0" alt="[insane]" title="" src="graemlins/insane.gif" />

I end up with indigestion and heartburn when on bulks too, go to the doctor and get script for perscription strength Zantac, it'll take care of it.....

I have the exact same problem GB, and the heartburn comes from acid reflux, trust me when I tell ya'. My doctor gave me Prevacid 30mg tabs and the problem is completely gone (taking only 1 tab per day).. I've used Zantac like Flat suggested, but it only helped for a few days, zantac is very mild in comparison to Prevacid or Prilosec which resloves the problem of heartburn, ulcers, indigestion and acid reflux completely!! Trust me it's what you need Bro.

Heartburn and gas are unavoidable for most of us if the diet is what should be. So you're doing a good job GB! I take gas-x every morning for the gas. I meet with customers each morning, and can't be stinkin up their offices. Zantac is strong enough for my stomach.

Bro, don't feel left out, I shit more almost 10 minutes after every meal i eat...and When eating a big mass diet..I get heartburn constantly...everything gives me heartburn now...so I just bought stock TUMS!!! Atleast I get a good calcium dose everyday!!!!

if you've got time, spread your meals out a bit more maybe dividing one into two - i find this helps me a great deal when i'm trying to hit over 7k calories a day. Yes, I eat a lot to.

Good advice AMP, and maybe take a couple meals a day in the form of a MRS (meal replacement shake) and/or a few protein bars!!! Just try to keep your stomach PH levels balanced, a flip flop on either side of the neutralized area, and you'll be feeling discomfort!!

Ohhhhhhhh... I def need something... I woke up about 3am gagging on acid this morning... that large pizza before bed musta did it... Im gonna pick up some zantac or prilosec and see how it goes.

That'll definately do it to you bro!!! I find, if I eat too much tomato based products or drink too much OJ or really anything withna high acidic base...I get it real bad, and it takes awhile to get rid of it!!

Too bad i love to eat!!! Guess i'll just have to live with it. <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/devil.gif" />

I made the pizza myself... its not hard! pick up some pizza crust,sauce, some low or non fat mozzarella, and some turkey pepperoni and youve got a reasonably healthy meal with 2 sources of protein.

Hey GB check the labels on the sauce. High sodium will give you heartburn as well as high acidity. Add sugar or honey to the tomato sauce and that will kill some of the scidity.

Thanks for the info AL!! <img border="0" alt="[wave]" title="" src="graemlins/wave.gif" />
