Help - Constipation

[nEwSkIn]

Man, I´ve been having trouble getting bowel movements... and it´s been getting worse lately.

Before, I was able to go to the bathroom every morning after waking up. Right now, I´m struggling more, I can go once like every two days. I´d really like to know what´s going on.

I guess I have plenty of fiber, I have like 150 grams carbs everyday and there´s plenty of fiber there (beans, oats, fruit)

What else can I do to make my GI tract more efficient??

I get bloated due to not getting enough bowel movements either.. and it sucks!

Any help would be appreciated

PS - I´m all natural, no steroids, or anything

I can´t believe there´s no one here who´s had problems and found out a good solution to this???

I know this post is off topic bue the anabolic board seems to be so well populated...

sorry

bro, 150 grams of carbs is not a whole lot.....eat more....add some broccoli and yams....

thanx mate...

what about psyllium husk or something alike? taking one cap between meals with water, should it be enough?

I really need a few tips, and I don´t wanna up the carbs a lot (cutting)...

 

[gilly6993]

phsyllium husk will also help.....

best laxitive i used was Fiber one cereal. 1 cup twice daily = clogging the toilet next day.

You can get more fiber from a bran cereal too. In the breakfast food aisle there are all kinds of fiber-rich cereals. I use a 100% wheat bran that I add some to my cream of wheat in the morning. Also, La Tortilla Factory has yummy low-carb tortillas that have about 9g fiber.

Are you getting enough water? Dehydration will bloat you AND make "going" hard.

I feel bloated too, but my water intake is pretty high I think, about 4 to 5 liters a day...

I wouldn´t like to go the "lax" way, because it´s said that it only makes the problem worse in the long run...

Although I eat oat bran regularly and such, I will try and up a little more the fiber and see what happens...

My protien shakes give me the green apple spatters. Guarenteed to make me squirt 3 times a day.

the psyllium will help. The fiber one cereal will definitely help but I believe is high in aspartame. Go to your local health food store and check out their cereals. They will have several you can mix and match. Those high fiber cereals will solve the problem. Drink tons of water of course.

Citromag is one of the strongest laxative around. And it's OTC.

I like to use Fiber Smart, it's made by a company called Renew Life. My doctor told me to get some when I was dieting for a contest. It contains no psyllium, but it's made from flax fiber and it has L-Glutamine in it. It's not bad tasting at all. I love it!! It's a high quality product I recommend to everyone. Check your local health food store.

Prune Juice works wonders- the carbs are fructose so not horrible unless you overdo it (won't spike insulin).

also, American Health brand papaya plus broad spectrum digestive enzyme pills.

if you're not afraid of the carbs or are loading, OD on phosphagen HP once or twice a week (like 2 or 3 times the label dose- but start with 2 to gauge effect). If this doesn't have you splattering the walls nothing will.

I agree on the psyllum husk (i use metamucil brand).

p.s.- when you're on a strict diet, your body tries to hold on to as much nutrient material as possible because it figures you're in a forest somewhere surrounded by tigers and unable to get food. It doesn't know you're just a vain MF'er trying to lose a few extra bf% points to see an extra vein or two .

so in terms of immediate appearence (as well as long term success of the diet), _starvation_ dieting isn't the answer.

orange flavor citrucell.........is good also.

Try good ol prunes. They taste pretty good too. Eat 3-4 in the morning and 3-4 at night.

If all else fails use Uncle Dragon's toilet clogger recipe:

1 bunch of kale
1 bunch of collard greens
1 tblsp crushed garlic
2 tblsp olive oil

Rinse collards and kale well in a large bowl of cold water. Drain and cut off the tough stems. There will be about 3/4 pound of each green. Cut leaves into 1/4-inch strips. There will be 6 to 8 tightly packed cups.
In a well-seasoned pan, heat the olive oil over moderately high heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add half of the greens and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add half of the greens and cook stirring, for about 1 minutes, until they begin to wilt. Add the remaining greens and cook, stirring constantly, for 8 to 10 minutes, until the greens darken slightly and are fairly tender.
Season with the salt, pepper, and lemon juice.

If THAT doesn't do it I suggest surgery

There are two kind of fibers soluble and insoluble fibre one i believe cleans your intestenal tract and the other cleans your blood oatmeal is known for cleaning your blood and will bind you
up. but at 150 grams of carbs that = 600 calories I dont no what else your eating but I believe you need alot more carbs then that to grow. whole wheat is insoluble and will help you to the bathroom
