If you have trouble "going" to the bathroom, what do you find helps? I

The only time I did was when I ate red meat (I managed to get some grass-fed, hormone-free, free-range ground beef) and lots of hard cheeses. I eat poultry and fin/scale fish as my protein and get LOTS of green veggies, and some almonds, without any problem whatsoever with bm. CM |

Avoid too much cheese, it tends to be binding. It is, however, normal to go somewhat less often on lowcarb, as there is less volume of waste to be processed. The medical definition of constipation is painful or difficult elimination, not a lack of going daily. Normal elimination varies from 3 times a day to 3 times a week, and "daily regularity" was a phrase made up to sell laxative. -- jamie ) "There's a seeker born every minute." |

I use psyllium, an orange-flavored sugar-free generic metamucil type from
Walmart. It doesn't matter how much fiber I get from veggies or other sources, I have to take the psyllium or I regret it the next day. squeamish warning My problem isn't with constipation, it is with the consistency (peanut-buttery vs non-peanut-buttery) and the effect that consistency has on hemorrhoids. I find that without the daily psyllium the hemmies are screaming! /squeamish warning "jcd" wrote in message ... If you have trouble "going" to the bathroom, what do you find helps?
