constipation?????

I grind my flaxseed and add it to my morning oatmeal. It has a nice nutty flavor. I know some folks like to mix it with peanut butter. Make sure you grind the seeds because if you don't you won't benefit from it. Whole seeds come out the way they go in. Grinding the seeds releases the beneficial oils. Read about it in Tooter's website I listed above. Patti

Hi Tammy, I sometimes have this problem (I also take an iron supplement) and find 2 things that help. Be sure you are getting in enough water and I also use a generic (walmart brand) stool softener. It is a liquid gel type and I have no problem swallowing it. Marie

Thank you Marie

Same problems here. I found that having just one Atkins Advantage bar during the day helps tremendously... gives me 20 grams of protein, and anywhere from 7 - 11 grams of fiber. It's the ole' 2 birds with one stone thing. Hang in there. You'll get through it... or should I say, it will get through you? Cheryl

I hope it get's through me very soon, thanks for all the info. Tammy

Tammy! I am now 8 mts out. I eat alot of fruit, i.e. strawberries, apples, applesauce & watermelon. As long as I eat these fruits, I have no problems going to the bathroom and do not get constipated. Hope this helps!
