constipation - ongoing problem..

[Guest guest]

Sorry about the title...

I've been on this diet about 1 month now and I am more constipated

than ever! How can giving up processed foods and eating a more

healthy diet make me so constipated?? I've always had this problem

but now its more severe. I'm approaching 1 month on this diet and am

really depressed about this reaction. Does anybody have any idea why

I'm reacting this way?

Thanks,

Not at first, but then I retraced and did the intro diet.

> WHat foods are you eating?

Chicken,carrots,broccoli,garlic,onions,zuchini,beef,apples,honey,spin

ach

yes

> Any supplements?

vit c,e,b's, milk thistle, gold digestive enzymes, caprylic acid,

candex, ala

> Any meds?

Cortef, Armour, dmps(6 mgs for 3 day rounds)

> Any yogurt? Probiotics?

> goat yogurt (just a little - tasted awful), probiotics (pill form)

-- I realized by taking my daily fix of chocolate out of my diet,

I became extremely constipated - this was always a proven laxative

for me. When I cheated with some gluten free choc chip cookies - my

constipation went away immediately. My doc has me on magnesium now

which hopefully will help. On another note - people are commenting

on my losing weight. This really is the best diet for that!

Milk thistle may be problematic for some.

Yeast and being treated for yeast can be constipating (was for me)

epsom salt baths may help by removing the yeast toxins.

Have you tried the constipation protocol - you may need more to get

things moving. The Constipation prototcol is at

You got off easy . I once tried some sugar free chocolates and thought

someone had

buried a minefield in my lower digestive system. When i want candy now I make my

own

Diva's Fab Fudge from the UCLBSrecipe site. I imagine adding pureed dates would

make it

more like chocolate.
