A few other things that have worked: -Smooth Move tea (or other Senna teas). They tend to be pretty gentle on the system, I have a cup most mornings. The key to senna teas is making sure they steep long enough - I usually put the tea bag in a cup of hot tap water, get my kids ready for school (about 1/2 hour process), then I heat it up in the microwave. -Colace (pill) - it is a stool softener, not a laxative, and safe to use every day while you're on the diet. -Miralax - also a stool softener, it is what doctors usually prescribe for patients that are backed up. I have had to use it a few times on IP when the Smooth Move tea isn't doing the trick. -Magnesium Citrate - this is a LAST RESORT remedy. It is pretty much lightning in a bottle, but it can dehydrate you VERY quickly so you have to be careful using it. It works, but it's not very gentle. -Plenty of water, oil every day (do not count oil used in cooking towards your daily 1-2 tsp), and all of your veggies. On a diet this restrictive, you need every bit of fiber from the veggies, and every bit of fat from the oil that you are allowed to keep things moving. Good luck! |
