I have a major problem with constipation. I know since I eat less Fiber that is why I am like this. My main food is meat, then veggie and sometimes I eat fruits. Should I change my diet to be more on veggies and the Protein? I am supposed to have between 1/2-3/4 cups of food per meal. I normally eat 1 cup since I have no restriction. I normally eat only protein and little veggies because that is what the nutritionist told me.

What about you guys? If you have to eat 1 cup of food, do you normally eat only protein or half and half with veggies?

What do you do to help you go?

Thanks,

Alisa

I use Benefiber in my water every day. And when things get "tough" I also add a small bit of Miralax. The seems to keep me pretty regular.

Thank you. I am going to try benefiber since Miralax did not help me. May be I did not use enough Miralax.

Thanks again,

Alisa

tbcgirl - I'm so glad you asked this I'm normally very regular however I've found that I don't feel constipated but I'm only going 2 times a week. Do you think think is a problem?

soon2befit - I think you are doing good on that end :-) For me, it has been a week now and nothing. Other times it is like this too and I have to take laxative, which I don't want to depend on that forever. I just bought benefiber yesterday and will let you know if it helps me.

Happy 4th of July!

Caught the end of Oprah today, rerun I think, they mentioned when taking calcium you have to take magnisem (sp) if you don't this can/will happen...
