I have been on this program 6 weeks, , eating tons, and tons of fruit and veggies, ( tons) and can not poo. I feel like I always have to go, but can not. Never had a problem before. Any one else experience this?  

Answer 1

Try adding in some extra fibre to your diet, I use metamucil and it keeps me regular!  

Answer 2

Fiber, water and you need at least 2 -3 servings of fat per day for vitamin absorption and gut health. Fish oil capsules work great or cold liver oil with the metamucil drink.  

Answer 3

Water, probiotics, and magnesium supplements, may help.  

Answer 4

Try adding some whole grains. quinoa, brown rice, whole wheat bread ect.  

Answer 5

Metamucil - the orange is good - every morning. You will thank me, lol

Answer 6

That was happening with me too. I was over doing the whole grain items. Talked to my doctor and she said try no grains for 3 weeks. She said to think of the gluten as “glue”. I did pretty good and didn’t eat gluten or corn but still ate rice. Anyway things are much better in that department. Yay! Good luck to you.
