constipation

OMG!  I have never had this before.  So right now I want to die!  This is not human, I tell ya.  I am downing colace. I have done two fleets.  So needless to say my day is shot. I can't go anywhere and still not really going.  I have talk to Dr. G and he has me doing somethings I would rather not talk about.  What do you do for this.  I am thinking I did not get enough fluid last week, I guess. Hugs Kristen OMG this is me!and this

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw ... ((((( Kristen )))))   .. hope it gets better for you. Hugs, Mo

I'm not exactly where you are, so I can't relate at the moment. But, I was probably about where you are when I first started Atkins a few years ago. A friend of mine suggested log rolling on the floor, which loosens up the stuff that backs up into your belly. It helped relieve some of the pain, believe it or  not. In my case it was a combination of not enough fluids and not enough fiber. Low carb diets aren't very high in fiber.  I started taking LOTS of fiber and stool softeners after that. I have a bottle of stool softeners handy, since I know I don't get enough fluids, or fiber now. I'm just kinda waiting for this to kick in again.

OH, forgot the most important part {{{{Kristin}}}} I'm so sorry you're not feeling well. Hope you find relief soon!

Thank Kathy I did try to walk that morning for 60mins on the treadmll and that did not help.  BUT I am out of the woods now and do not plan to go back there again, what a nightmare that was. Hugs Kristen

GREAT to hear!  I wouldn't wish that on anyone!

Poor Kristen!!!  I'm glad it all finally "worked" out, but it sure is a miserable feeling.  I do think that not enough water is the culprit.   How much are you drinking?  And do you need me to come slap some water into you????  You know, I'm your friend, I'm there for you!!! Tia

Tia I am working on it this week for sure!  So far today I have gotten 18oz in and still counting.  I do not want to go there EVER AGAIN! Hugs Kristen
