could my constipation be fom a high protien diet?

I am near the end of my weight loss journey and pounds are comming off slow now. so I have to work at it. Ok my question... I eat the high protien bars, I also drink high protien ensure it is helping the weight come off but I am getting really constipated and I mean bad. has anyone had this problem or am I like the only person going through this? I had to see my dr. about it and I had to use an enema then drink a bottle of magnesium citrate that didn't work so on top of that I took correctol that worked and I did go BM the next day but nothing since if i don't get back on track a colonoscopy is next. I am also having blood work drawn just in case.
