Constipation problem since I upped my protein level

I had been doing so much better and not having constipation problems until I upped my protein level and it is back in a fierce way! If anyone has conquered this problem, I need some advice. I have upped my water consumption as best I can also. I am taking Colace and Milk of Magnesia as needed. I need some help to beat this! It is uncomfortable and painful. Thanks, LMW

Try flax seed? Wish I had better advice but my self I tend to the 'softer' side of things (lol). Kia 284/206/155

Thanks, I was not aware that Flaxseed helped with this problem! I am happy for you that you are on the softer side of things. You should consider yourself blessed!!

Wanna know my FAVORITE constipation buster??? It's NOT scientific and probably not as good for you as the suggested flaxseed, which is PROBABLY the BEST advice... Anyway....sugar free chocolate! LOL! If I eat 3 or 4 of those little sugar free Hershey bars.... OR...the prepackaged sugar free Jello pudding.... if I even have ONE of those suckers.... The pipes are CLEAN!!lol! (I know...that's SICK!) But as I say..."Truth ain't pretty....it just IS!"

Hi Modean, you really made me LOL on this one! I will definitely try your technique! I appreciate it. I don't care about science--I just need to go (ha-ha)!!

When I get in this mode I drink 100% apple juice within minutes I am in there. I have also heard of benefiber and apple juice. Hopes this helps

Thanks! I will give this a try. I appreciate your help.
