[Patriciabuon]

After 4 days on induction suffering from bad constipation. Daily psyllium is not helping. Suggestions?

Well, I'll probably get hammered for this but I have a dark coffee and it always gets things moving for me. Flax meal is good too.

Metamussil in the morning and at night before you go to bed. it also comes sugar free.

I good proper laxative from the chemist will help. It's not good for you - whatever - you need to go to the toilet. Being constipated is worse for you than taking one.

Try drinking more water.

The few times I had problems 'going' I used glycerine suppositories.

BTW on Atkins you might find your 'movements' become fewer in number as you are not eating all those nutritionally-empty carby foods.

If you are not feeling bunged up and uncomfortable and wanting to 'go' but not being able to, dont worry too much about it.
