Low Carb & Atkins Diet

Ok.. here is my deal

I am still bound up been this way for about 4 days now.

I have taken 3 stool softner, the psyllum husks, plain fiber that I have mixed in water, I have taken the flax seed and I also did what bluehex suggested about boiling it, and I have eaten it like a cereal.

I drink my water over 640z everyday and I eat my vegetables.

What is my deal? Embarassed

I have been on Atkins with no real surprises, for 14 months. YOU have surprised me.

More info needed...good luck!

It could be that the...batch...of food that started the problem is still in there and it may be hard to move. Be patient for a couple more days, take a radical, strong-working laxative. But if after that the constipation persists or if you feel any kind of pain or cramps, just go see a doctor.

Seriously, time for gentle measures like fiber and such is gone. Take some good medication. If you tell the pharmacist you've had the problem for 4 days (5 now...), they'll know what to give you.

Thanks you guys. I am much better now. Bluehex and Merlot I guess I just needed some time but I know that constipation can slow your weight loss down and that is one problem I would like to have under control.

Very Happy
