I Need Help - Protein Shakes...Added Protein = Constipation...HELP!

Donna

I have tried it all...smooth move tea, dieters tea, water,...everything. WHat I have found that works and keep it working is apples and pineapple EVERYDAY. Get some GAT TEA to get it working.

i have been trying different things since my process is moving so fast. I tried the Isopure drinks from GNC and its pretty good. It has 40 grams of protien in one bottle. they have about 7 different flavors.

Hey love...I am actually using Isopure already...the problem is constipation from all the protein...but, I think the fruits may work in my favor.

Tricie, I think you are on to something!

See you tonight!!

Hey Donna

Have you ever heard of  Laci Le Beau "Super Dieter's Tea" comes in different flavors... You can't mix it with anything (not splenda or  any other sweeteners) but it works (FOREAL!).. You can get it from the health food store.. It dosen't taste bad (to me), my daughter and I take it for constipation..

I read an article that the dieter's tea was really bad for you....don't get me to start lying about exactly what it said, but if you google it maube you can find some info. It was enough to make me throw out my box.

Anywhoo I take generic Colace everyday. I take it the same time I take my iron....if not...girl, I am stopped UP. My Dr said taking it everyday will have no ill effects because I was worried about long term use.

If it ever gets to the point where it s a few days and still nothing, if you go to the pharmacy and in the same section as the enemas and MOM you will see liquid Magnesium Citrate. That will def clean you out!!!

one shake i make is very helpful with getting in fresh fruits & veggies. i use fresh spinach (couple of good sized handfuls), 1 apple (peel/chop it), and melon of ur choice (honeydew, cantaloupe, etc...whatever kind u may have around). add ur protein powder and blend. u get virtually no taste from the sopinach but all the raw food benefits and the apple and melon provide a nice mellow sweetness. i have added banana in the past, but the usually puts me over my sugar limit & sends me to the toilet (which you may WANT in this case lol!)

be cautious adding liquid to this tho, the melon provides plenty (for me) so wait to add liquids after youve blended the foods.

I AGREE AND AM A WITNESS THAT THE SMOOTH MOVE AND DIET TEAS WILL NOT WORK ON THE LONG TERM.  YOU WILL BE A DEPENDANCE ON THEM AND NOT BE ABLE TO GO ON YOUR OWN AFTER A FEW MONTHS.  I AGREE WITH THE STOOLE SOFTENER AND WATER, COLACE IS WHAT I USE.  TAKE TWO A DAY AND YOUR WATER, IT WILL SLIDE RIGHT ON OUT.

WORKS FOR ME.
