Nobody likes to talk about this but I am currently doing the Atkins diet and I have had to resort to taking a daily colon cleanse formula to keep from getting constipated.  Does anyone know of any remedies for constipation on a low carb diet?  It's hard to get fiber with all that protein!!

i think the most important thing we need to do is listen to our body.  If your current heating habits are causing constipation, then maybe you should consider changing your diet.  drinking more water can be helpful, but the most important thing is lots of vegetables and fruits.

That old standby, prune juice works wonders too.  And after you get used to having a glass a day, it even tastes good.  I'm a vegetarian, but still would get constipated sometimes, as I'm going thru menopause now.  Prune juice, a glass a day, really works great for me and I feel better.  Not all bloaty.  Also make sure to drink lots of water.  Hope this helps.
