Constipation
I am writing as I am 4 years out from surgery 2/12/08 and I have made a decision to get back on track. Truth be told I wasnt that far off, however I am having issues I have never had before. I think the protein shake I am taking is making me constipated. I need to know what you all do to eliminate this issue. I have taken fiber choice sf pills, and just bought colace last night. I use activia with grinded up flax seed powder on top. I hate that the protein is doing this to my body, however I know there are also great benefits as well and I dont want to stop. PLEASE GIVE ME SOME IDEAS AND THOUGHTS, I value your opinions.
Many thanks,
Nikki

I use a variation of it and I have had no issues since starting it.

This has been my NUMBER 1 ISSUE. It has only been in the past two weeks I have been able to move my bowels without laxatives and enemas. Thanks to many on here, and most recently Tazz...this is what is working.
In the evening in a glass of ho****er I drink one dose of Miralax mixed with 2 tablespoons Benefiber and chew two Fiber choice, and then I drink a lot of water. Then in the morning I take 3 stool softeners. So far I have been able to move, by myself every other day. It was not until Tazz told me I have to take Mira lax each and every single day without fail. A lot of water is important too.
