When I say junk I mean stuff like biscuits etc. Junk *relative* to what we should be eating. Think of it as a "normal" diet. Stuff that people eat all the time.
Anyways whilst off PD I could eat it fine. It is only whilst on PD that it resulted in rock-hard stools.
BTW I've never had any bowel problems in my life! Even with candida I'm extremely regular. Never suffered with constipation or diarhea.
It was the PD. When you change the bacteria in your gut to something that shouldn't be there, obviously you change the metabolites it produces.
Now I'm not saying that everyone who takes PD will get this problem. Only those who take it in high doses (like I did) and then eat a less than perfect diet.
Then there are the issues of the animal strain it contains, and also the fact that you have to keep on taking it.
