Xylitol is a natural Sweetener and many Keto folks use it as stage substitute. But for some, it acts like a laxative and not tolerable. I am one such person. A spoon of xylitol is all is takes for my inside to start running.

I was super constipated and my daily docusate didn't help. I tried miralax but it ended up giving me cramps and felt not so good. So decided to try xylitol and bam it did the trick.

I keep using fiber supplement, do eat veggies/fruits (mostly pineapple) but milk/yogurt/cheese high protein diet does it for me and I continue getting constipated.

I don't know what else I can do to have normal bowel movements since I do all I can along with walking most of the days ??‍♀️

Any other means of solving this issue?

Have you tried xylitol? I am sure daily use of xylitol isn't advisable but may be once a week use may be fine to get you the needed relief? May ask my nutritionist on my next appt but that's more than month away.

those sugar alcohols (those with names ending in "-itol") do give a lot of people diarrhea. Xylitol doesn't do it for me, but maltitol does. I don't know that they're necessarily dangerous - they just give a lot of people "the runs". So yea - it'd definitely do the trick! Although people considering that might want to check with a doctor first just to be sure. I wouldn't think they'd be any more dangerous than something like Miralax, though.
