Personal question all Atkins eaters know about.

[Rick]

I think that if you get your carbs in the right way, this shouldn't be an issue. You should be getting plenty of fiber with your salad veggies. Just make sure that you're getting the veggies in, and I think you should be good. So many people try to do Atkins without the veggies... and that's wrong. (Not saying that's your case, just trying to make a point).

Good luck to you!

I do have flax oil caps in the frig, along with salmon oil, but I haven't taken them for awhile. Since the flax is in oil form, would it still do the job? Seems to me you'd almost need the actual seeds in order to have the fiber?

I take Benefiber the tasteless, powder kind that completely dissolves in water, and its so cool you can even add it to your food if you want...it has 4 carbs, but its from fiber, and no sugars in it, so I think its worth it

and when I'm really constipated I take stool softeners like Dulcolax

We usually take stool softeners if it gets bad.
Another thing we do as well, it sautee some Brocolli Raab in Olive oil and garlic and the next morning we go. Brocolli Raab is sort of bitter, but I love it and it helps!

Senna Leaf Tea...it's an herbal laxative tea that's sugar free and works wonders.

Thank you for all the suggestions! Before I was pretty much clueless, now I have some options.

I have the perfect short term solution as we all know how bad it feels to be backed up.
Senokot-s
P.S. when you can increase your fiber intake, it would be the ideal path to take In the meantime....

Can you post the carbs too, on the products you recommend?

[sugarsack]

this has never been an issue for me either, but i do the raw broccoli every day ..

I use herbal tea with senna leaf, too. There are many available online or health stores or even check local groceries ( we have in Kroger, Publics, etc around here). For better taste I even put together Senna leaf tea and some other like Strawberry or Lemon or Blueberry.
