Way to go on the 14 pounds! As for laxative, perhaps try a spoonful of ground flax seed meal - if I recall it has the same number of carbs and fiber per serving, so in essence they cancel each other out. That's what Dr. Atkins recommends in DANDR if memory serves. Either that or psyllium husks. Either one will do the trick! Take care, keep coming back and keep on trucking!
