TMI moment...... I'm on my second bad of this product, I really think this is going to be my last shipment. I seem to have constipation issues the weeks i'm on it. Has anyone else noticed this issue?

    Wow. Usually people report the opposite due to the fiber that is in it. What are you mixing it with? Is it possible that something you are adding is contributing to the problem? Sometimes it takes time for our bodies to adjust to new foods.

    banana or half a bag of yoplait mixed berry smoothie. I sometimes even add GNC super fiber in it. But just realized this morning (because funds were low and I was almost 2 weeks late getting my current shipment) I had not problem in that department. And now i'm back on it and nada :-(

    are you drinking enough water? Too much fiber with not enough water will make you constipated

    I tried it once an had constipation issues also. Mixed it plain with water, just to be sure that nothing else was the cause. I stopped using it and was fine again. Must just be something about it that my intestinal tract doesn't like! So, you are not alone!

    Cut out the extra fiber that you're adding. That is what's causing the problem.

    I didn't add any extra fiber - the only thing I added was Shakeology!

    My comment was directed to Tmog. She is adding extra fiber.

    My friend tried and she ended constipated. She gave it a try 3x different times and finally decided to not take it anymore. :-)

    Not everything works the same with everyone!!
