SEVERE constipation....

[liffalot]

Well I think the title says it all. Some of my supps, mainly my diet of high protein along with Big Blast and protein synthesizers like GEAR are wreaking havoc on my bowels.

No matter how much fiber I eat and water I drink it doesnt seem to get a whole lot better and its finally starting to become a problem.

Laxitives would be the obvious answer but Id like to avoid taking daily laxitives if at all possible.......

Any suggestion?

Thanks

Spread your protein out. How much do you take in at a time and how often?

it's ugly..

have you tried probiotics?? that's seems to be helping my wife alot... she has a delicate digestive system too..

Well I take 3 GEAR capsules 4 times daily along with a serving of Big Blast almost every day which has 45g of protein.

Not sure how gear translates into grams of protein, my diet is higher protein than your average joe but I only eat three meals a day at 7 AM, 1230 PM, and 630 PM.

Seems pretty spaced out to me but I vould be wrong

No I havent, my girlfriend takes probiotics religiously as well. Maybe I'll give that a shot. Thats the weird thing though is that my digestive system is regular for my metabolism and pretty solid all around when Im not stacking protein.

The only thing that bugs it is the thing I need most!

Thanks

water intake can be an issue as well..

remember that the body can only absorb 8oz of water in any 20 minutes... any water consumed in excess of 8oz in the 20 minutes passes directly to the kidney and urinary track..

Thats very interesting.......even on a water retainer? A lot of the stuff I take uses water retainers, I had always figured the more the better on the water

Go to the store and get mineral oil trust me

Mineral oil works like a charm. Try eating some flax seed and such. Stuff works really well for me. I buy it in some cereal that I like (Kashi). It works wonders for me man.

Unfortunately Kashi contains soy protein isolate.

Unfortunately Kashi contains soy protein isolate.

...an extremely small amount.

any specific type of mineral oil? I took probiotics last night and in the morning I was still really constipated. Its just kind of giving me a lot of gas right now.

I dont think I took it early on enough in the night to have it be effective by morning time, we will see.

Any mineral oil get it ,, it will work man

 

[liffalot]

awesome, thanks. Ill give it a shot.

Probiotics seem to be making me more regular, but the consistency of the fecal matter itself is still extremely unpleasant......

Hopefully those will work.

just fir the future of anyone searching this thread, the mineral oil works like a charm!

I just went up to walgreens and bought their generic bottle for 4 bucks, came home and took 2 swigs before bed.

Woke up in the morning crapping my brains out, good stuff and id reccommend if you have hemroids or something too.

 

[MacKat]
