Anyone have a hard time going to the bathroom? I was totally opposite before this. Now I am living off of Milk of Magnesia!! (Nasty)

Try benefiber. It is a tasteless fine powder that you can add to any drink, or sprinkle on your food. Totally tasteless. I think the problem is the amount of Protein we take in, if I am not mistaken.

I put miralax in my morning protein shake

Well I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with this problem.

Miralax should we take it everyday? I am also having issues with this. Doctor said to take Miralax if I had any problems, but I do not know if I need it everyday. Stool softener was also suggested.

Do you keep yourself well hydrated? Also, do you happen to be taking a large dosage of an Iron supplement?

Having the same issue & benefiber wasn't helping. What has helped very much is Smooth Move tea and it taste good to. I drink a cup every other night.

Maybe add some probiotics. They help with healthy gut bacteria.

Totally having the same issue here. I drank a premier protein this morning though and it went right through me, clearing my blockage...sorry TMI ????

U have to take miralax or something like that. Because you are always bound up.

Being high protein low /no carb we are all lacking fiber. Keeping hydrated will help as will miralax or the smooth move tea.

It's terrible & completely no fun having "potty problems." I use miralax in my crystal light & milk of magnesia (cherry is good-ish) & am moving to colace twice a week. I look forward to the day when I can have a little oatmeal & some prunes. Oh gosh, I'm turning into my grandmother????

I'm putting mirilax in my am water... It's a daily must after the the most painful three days after starting real foods!

I can count on one hand the number of times in my life I've been constipated. This is awful!! I started taking stool softeners and they are helping.

I was having the same issues. I'm 7 weeks out or so. They told me to take up to 4 Colace a day and Miralax, if needed. If I'm consistent with the Colace, 1 a day seems to be working ok.

My NUT said it gets better as we are able to incorporate more veggies into our diets.
