Protein Induced Constipation

[Rajeev]

I have recently started out on a high protein diet mainly Prolab Whey approx 140gms a day but since then ve difficulty in passing stools i have also increased my h20 intake to almost 1 gal a day and also eat veggies for the fibre. Is this the "body getting used to" phase or ........

If you are constipated, try drinking one or two cups of coffee, that usually works for me.

how large of servings of whey are you using ? anything else in the shake, no carbs or fats ?

 

[anthrax]

fiber
black coffee
fruits

will help if you're constipated

BTW I thought proteins powders were linked to diarrhea...

Are you taking in less carbs.. in which case your fiber might be lower? coffee does the trick.

Low carbs=slow bowel movements......If your not on a keto diet take 4 psyllium husks and wash them down with a cup of prune juice b4 bed. Youll be shitting sideways when you wake up.....

Or correctol works in about 6-8 hours..Best taken before bed.

Try a calcium and magnesium supplement-there is something about these two together that will do the trick
