Hi Wolf,

It just seems to happen that some folk get constipated when they start to low carb, while others "go" in the other direction. [Diarrhoea will always be lighter in colour than a formed stool]

How much psyllium is she taking? 1 tablespoon is the dose recommended by Dr Atkins.

I doubt the teas are affecting her. The only way to be sure is to stop drinking them for a bit and see what happens. Ordinary leaf tea can be constipating BTW.

All the best to the both of you!
