I have been having the same issue and was concerned in the beginning but I increased my water intake, and while that didn't make me go more often it does seem more normal now and no discomfort when I do go.

i got some great suggestions .... thank you so much guys


i figured with less food there would be less waste i just want to make sure that it wouldent hinder weight loss .... im eatting so it has to go somewhere but i guess if its all being burned then that makes sense ....

i eat a good deal of raw veggies ... i cant choke down the prunes or sweet potatoes ... oh goodness just thinking of it .... i dont have much of a sweet tooth , but i will give magnesium a go ive heard that from my mother also !

thank you so much !

Miralax and psyllium husk powder are my saviors.

*dealt with constipation my entire life*

borntofly i will say the psyllium husk does help me alot but ughhh that gloopy gritty texture ... im so spoiled i cant bring myself to choke it down ... i wondered does it have the same benifits if eatten mixed in with food? like maybe a smoothie or something?

Bananas seem to help me. Fiber One stuff really didn't help me much. Be careful if you have a smoothie, they can have lots of calories.

I have a shaker cup. I mix one cup of chocolate silk light with 2 teaspoons of it. Shake it up real good. It's not so bad that way. I couldn't do it if it was mixed with a spoon into water or something like that. But the chocolate silk seems to be alright.

Try eating more green stuff. For some reason if I dont eat something green (salad, green beans, cabbage...ect.) everyday I get the same way!

I have an IUD and I havent had a period in over 3-4 years. However since I started dieting I hardly ever have bowel movements. And like some posters have stated before I would have several a day. Now its like ever 2 days or so.
For me coffee is a natural laxative, I have no idea why. After my c-sections with my kids, they wouldnt let me leave the hospital till I had a BM, I drank some coffee and wah'la I am good to go.
