Lets Talk About Constipation
Ive already searched through a number of posts about this, the ones i found the most informative were over a year old so i thought that i would ask the question again (sorry to repeat a question that has been covered before)
What is the best way to beat constipation whilst on this plan? My problem is that i only eat tomatoes & onion, no other veg. I just dont like them. So before i went onto Atkins my fibre intake was from wholemeal pasta and wholemeal bread, bran flakes etc so this wasnt a problem. I also ate a lot of fruit, but i know that this wasnt a perfect diet. (sometimes i would have to use fibrogel drinks) I do however drink LOTS of water. As i dont drink tea or coffee its all i drink whilst at work and then i just have one can of diet pop at night and then its back on to the water, this is something that i have done for years.
Is there anything i can take in tablet form that i can take on a daily basis to help with this? Ive read about psyllium & also Flaxseed Oil - call me stupid but do these come in a tablet form? I really want to stay away from liquids if possible as i find them really hard to drink.
Any help would be great,
With Thanks
