I have been doing Atkins for quite some time, but my wife is a recent convert. She is in her second week of Induction. Here's the problem:

She has had the "runs" for almost 2 weeks. She takes psyllium daily, but the problem persists. I remember that the curse of my induction was constipation with (excuse the frankness) bowel movements that were dark in color. It is a mystery to me that, despite doing strict lo-carb, she has very light color movements. I'm wondering if there are too many carbs.

She regularly drinks herb teas (yerba mate, almond, peach). Has anyone had experience with teas on Atkins, and were they a problem?

Thanks
