Constipation Question

Can being constipated cause a 2-3 lb increase in weight between yesterday and today? Marianne

I have noticed that also. After I am able to go I will lose 2 to 3 lbs. Hugs Sonya

Thanks Sonya This is a relief...I was able to "go" today so I will be sure to get back on the scale tomorrow morning and see if I am "lighter" Marianne

Also, when you're constipated you tend to retain water at the same time. So you might also have some water weight that will drop as soon as things are 'moving!!!!!' Katie

Yes it can, been there and experienced that. I now include a serving of prunes in my daily diet.
