Lots of talk about it in several threads here: http://forum.lowcarber.org/search.php?searchid=723504 When I feel I need some help, I drink Dieters Tea that I get at the Dollar Store. Good luck. :)

Carbsense Apple cinnamon granola - 25 grams fibre per serving. :)

Are you drinking enough as sometimes it's a lack of fluid rather than a lack of fibre?

Hi there and thanks for all your help :)
Galatia I am in canada and I have never heard of dieters tea??

Steph z Where can I get those granola bars?? Is carsense the brand name of them ??

BigTed I do drink lots of water more than 4 litres in a day sometimes :) but thanks for the tip :)

It is a cereal and not a bar. You can do a google search for "carbsense granola" to see who sells it.

A couple of coffee when I get up, and a large glas of warm water does it perfect for me...

Veggies....lots of green veggies!!

I just purchased "Whole Psyllium Husk" with no added sugars or anything. One heaping teaspoon has 4 grams fiber. I just mix it in with a big glass of water and gulp it down.

flax--
i buy flaxseed and grind it then sprinkle 1tbsp on my evening salad and never have a problem --been doing this a couple of years now, works great.

A lot of people assume constipation comes only from a lack of fiber. However, constipation can also be a sign of magnesium deficiency.

When I take my cal/mag supplements I don't have any problem at all. I buy Jamieson brand and it's a combo of calcium and magnesium. I used to take 3 a day (breakfast, late afternoon, bedtime) but I found it worked TOO well :o Two per day is perfect for me :)

The veggies, water and also exercise can't hurt :D
