    Less food in = less food out.

    But, if you're eating healthier, you're probably getting more fiber in your diet than your digestive system is used to. That can cause some gas/bloat/constipation in the mean time while everything adjusts. Make sure you drink plenty of water, otherwise you might as well be making concrete.

    Probiotics may also help. I've used Garden of Liife's Colon Care before, and it really helped me. Magnesium Citrate can also help to get things moving if you're really stopped up. I'd use stimulant laxatives like senna and cascara sagrada as a last resort, since they're more uncomfortable and not safe for long-term use.

    My hubs takes Metamucil every day or he has problems despite eating plenty fruit and veggies. Also if you try miralax just be careful. When it hits it hits. Lol
