Sorry to bring up the subject, but anyone else having trouble with constipation. I'm not sure if it's because I don't eat as much as I used to or what. But I seem to have less frequent bowel movements. Luckily these are helped out by TOM. Is this just the way it's going to be?? :confused2:

I've even tried Alli...you know...it's supposed to cause you to have accidents, right?

Didn't even work for me. I took it for over a week and gave up.

If alli won't work...I'm a lost cause.

I actually eat chocolate or a doughnut every week to be able to go.

I try to eat some form of fiber---whether it be fresh fruit---or cereal---and it has seemed to keep things working!

I use the bite size shredded wheat as snack foods---it works 2 ways---provides the Fiber, and gives me something to crunch and munch!!!!

But less in will definitely mean less out, especially if your diet is high in Protein, and low in bulky foods.

It sounds gross----not sure if you have ever had to perform doggy duty----and be the pooper scooper----but the higher quality of food you feed the dog, the less cleaning you have to do! The lower quality bulk filler they put in low cost foods, increase the output. We work the same way!!! When we take in less, and it is mostly things the body can draw nutrients from, there is less to eliminate. We spent a lot of years filling ourselves with junk, and getting used to having to eliminate it regularly just to fit more in. There is no longer a problem with that!

It is really hard not to make a tacky comment about this being a "crappy" or a shi^*y thread!!! LOL!!!! Just could NOT resist!
