Constipation
My mom has Type II diabetes, and we started following L-C diet about 8 weeks ago. She has been constipated since she started this. We are not sure what to do. When she eats a cereal with fiber in the morning, it seems to help. But it is difficult to get enough fiber in the diet without eating carbs. She also seems to be afflicted at times with slow digestion. Thus Dr. Berstein says to limit fiber. Well, if you limit fiber, then there is constipation. Any suggestions?
