Too Much Cheese!!!!!!

OY! I have been eating a lot of it lately cuz it's an easy way to get low carb protein in and I've been so obsessed with trying to keep the carbs low that I don't even think of eating fruit.. well it finally caught up with me.. OMG I was in the bathroom for a half hour!!   I will spare the details but I will say it was the worst experience I've had with being constipated.
Not to mention I had to take a water pill today cuz my feet were swollen so I'm guessing the salt from the cheese it catching up with me too..

Guess I'll have to take a cheese break for a while.
I maybe some homemade apple sauce today and had about half a cup of it. Hopefully that helps.
My dietician suggested fibre1 cereal but it's like 25 carbs right there and I have a hard enough time with the carbs. *sigh*
Does anyone know if there is a fibre we can get in pill form?

I take Miralax every day. But yeah, I have to watch the cheese too

I got fiber pills from Rite Aid. They have Psyllium in them. I had a problem like yours and have fixed it with 3 of those pills and 2 fish oil pills a day . . . now . . regular as pie!

Oh . . they have 3 carbs but 3 fiber per serving so net carbs are zero.

I take one magnisium vitamin a day . And I go like clock work. It is good for your heart too.

I use benefiber powder every day. Mix it up in any liquid and it dissolves very easily with absolutely no graininess or taste. And stool softeners at bedtime seems to work for me.

 Colace- 2  - 4 pills daily
Miralax- 2 times a week
FIber capsules- Costco and Sams has the member mark brand for a good price
Benefiber- Sams has a giant one for a good price- careful with the carbs from that though.  Realized I was adding 60-100 calores a day with it and lots of carb. 

Miralax works great and it tasteless in the morning coffee.  

Sorry, I know that sucks.  I eat a lot of cheese, but I generally don't have issues.  I also get a minimum of 15g of fiber a day without taking supplmeents. In Maintenance, i'm shooting for 25.  I eat protein first, then fibrous veggies, generally.   

 Things to try:

Drink lots of water....
 -- Add Protein K20  (5g fiber, 5g protein) by Special K

Atkins Daybreak Bars, Peanut Butter Fudge Crisp in particular, have 10g protein, 8g Fiber. They have a small amount of sugar alcohol, but not a ton.  150 Calories. 

Blueberries/Strawberries -- I add them to cottage cheese, raw. 

Eggplant -- best source possible for soluable fiber which lowers cholesterol.  Cut it into slices,  salt it and let it sit for 1/2 hour to draw out the bitterness.  Wipe and then wash off the salt. Pat dry, then  brush with some olive oil, lightly season, and grill. 

Zuccini/Broccoli/Cauliflower --  Sautee, steamed, mashed.  I made a Sheperd's Pie recently substituting Cauliflower mash for the mashed potatoes on top.  It was REALLY good.

Artichokes -- Trickier to cook, but very good/

Ok thanks for the advice..it's a huge inconvenience too when I think I'll be in and out of the washroom and end up being late for school or other things cuz well .. you know LOL
