Hi girls I am having a little problem. It is not really a pleasant one to talk about, but I need some help. I am on my last day of phase one and I can't go to the bathroom. Does anyone have any suggestions it has been 3 days know. I am so bloated and uncomfortable I could explode ( I wish I would I would feel better.) LOL. So if anyone has any suggestions I would be ever so grateful. Did anyone else go through this during phase one? It is not lack of veggies because I am eating lots of those. Well I must go. Pardon the pun. Thanks for listening girls.
I took a stool softener each night to keep things moving.: Worked for me. I can't stand metamucil, so that was my solution. In my lifetime, I often have to take a blast of 'dynamite' and my solution for that has always been Phillips Milk of Magnesia. But knowing my problem, that was why I went to the softener. Hope this is useful information. Lizzie
Little Chick, you're not alone! I think a lot of us have had this problem to varying degrees! When I get "in a bind" I use Benefiber, which is sugar-free, taste-free, and absolutely not gritty or thick. You can just add it to a glass of water, or your coffee...you honestly can't even tell it is there! Speaking of water...DRINK UP! This is one of the best ways I know of to help things along...and keep your system running the way it is supposed to. Don't overdo if you decide to use a fiber supplement or laxative...you'll end up even more miserable!
Hi Little Chick - just checking in on you to see if you had any umm....movement in that area?
I to am going on day 6 (and I have never had a problem...) and am at the point now where I just can't eat as it makes me naseous because I feel so bloated from (well for lack of a better term...) well...lack of release
what did you try and how well did it work? I went out and got citracel today and just took two hoping to feel better...
