Constipation is one of the problems with this WOE in the beginning for most. Some use Psyllium Husks, Flaxseeds, or like I use, Flaxseed Oil in caplet form. Hopefully this helps a bit. You can always do a search for Constipation using the Search feature

i could be wrong here, i am very new to this(one week) but, i think the essential fatty acid tabs do the trick for me. it says take 3 a day on the bottle, i take all three in the morning. they are huge. good luck.

If all else fails take ex-lax or something similar. Don't get yourself blocked up - it can be dangerous.

Pysillium husk caplets (2aday) have become my new best friend. Never a problem since starting them.
