I'd look for hidden sorbitol in your foods. This can really be laxative.

So can fructose. 1 in 3 people have a digestive intolerance to fructose.

The next culprit to look at is potatoes and tomatoes...and other nightshades. Chili peppers, or the hot ones, green and red all can cause terrible problems in some people. When one has a food intolerance I think others can follow.

I have also found that maltodextrin, which is a suspending agent can be very laxative. So read you labels carefully.

In summer there can be food borne illness too. I hope you are not eating any sprouts lately either?
