graphic, but need advice

Hey MO Board,

You guys are usually pretty good at helping with probs.  I admit I haven't been good about taking my protein the last few months.  I have started back making it priority.  Now I am having big probls with bm.  It is very hard and very painful.  I know its from the protein but how do I get things moving better.  I cannot stop protein.  Need ideas or thoughts please.  It has been a very painful last couple of days.

Thanks,
Kelly

Dr H said to use benefiber mixed in a glass of water. I went to his support group Sunday and the subject can up.

You can also try fish oil or flax seed oil (I take 2 of each every day) and I also take 2 stool softeners...this keeps me fairly regular...good luck and you are right..dont skip the protien. You need that for sure.

Thanks for the advice.  I went and got some of the Benefiber Chewable Tablets.  I already took some.  I even got some bananas.  I got to get this fixed.  Its really painful.  I also lost weight after I went this morning so I know its holding things up.

Again Thanks,
Kelly

Hi Kelly,

I too was at Dr H's meeting Sunday and he did also mention that bananas help to bind you up.  The do not help in going.  So I'd say stop the bananas.

 Thank you for asking this question - so I didn't have to!  Thanks to everyone for their advice, too.  I haven't been drinking as much water lately so I'm pushing more water again.
