Also...watch out for that flaxseed meal. If you recall, Dr. Atkins book talks about taking flaxseed with water to give you a laxative effect when you're constipated. If you eat flaxseed meal cereal then I wouldn't add flaxseed to other stuff. Also some of the muffins are made with flaxseed meal. That with the combination of maltitol, which btw are in some of the atkins bars, you could have a real problem. Another culprit could be black olives. When my brother was little he had tons of probs with constipation that landed him in the hospital and olives are the only thing that loosened him back up. If you ate a ton of banana's, rice, applesauce or toast prior to this WOE and have suddenly cut them out then your body may just have to get used to it. Those items are in the "BRAT" diet for helping folks with diarrhea to get stopped up. A sudden stop of those high carb foods could throw your system off. That's just my 2 cents worth. Good luck. Annie
