Hi everyone, I would like a tip or two please. I am on day nine of Optifast, 12 to go... I have felt great until today, I am feeling head achey and really bloated and slightly nauseous, I have been drinking between 1.5 and 2 L. of water every day. I have not had one morsel of anything I shouldn't. I am allowed cucumbers & celery but they make me feel cramped up,

Last week I had no problems with BMs (some day a few times in a day) but this week I have had very few. (sorry about being graphic)

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I would add ( I did) one spoonful of metamucil to each of your Optifast shakes.

Or buy the Metamucil capsules. I was told to take 2-3 capsules PER SHAKE for either constipation or diarrhea.

Yes, or benefiber - that also goes well in water (and you will not taste it)

I was told by the nurse at take benefiber right away once starting optifast "because it does constipate" according to her.

Best of luck
