Hiya Carly!

It's a funny thing with low carbing - some people get constipated and others get diarrhoea (doesn't matter how you spell it - we knew what you meant! ;p ). I've had both!

The other funny thing is that the trusty psyllium husks fix both. They work to add bulk to the stool and basically get "everything" back to normal. Pretty cheap, too. You'll find 'em at supermarkets, health food stores and chemists(where I bought mine, only to realsie that was the dearest option ).

The dose is a tablespoon daily mixed into a full glass of water. The taste is, um, not good. I have found that mixing a splash of Diet Cran Drink into the water helps the taste enormously.

Well done on losing 7 pounds already!

Cheers!

Rosebud
