High Protein Diet and Constipation - I know TMI
Replies

A healthy person is suppose to go after every big meal but now I'm barley going in a day.
Really? I think it's pretty normal to poop once a day, not after every meal.
Most people do not know this but a person with a healthy digestive system is suppose to poop after every meal. The longer food stays inside of you the worse it smells when it comes out. I know TMI but I've learn a lot in this area. Poop is also suppose to float, be light brown and not have a foul odor.0 -
I have been doing 1 protein shake a day for months but just recently shifted my diet to high protein, low carb and I'm noticing a difference as well.
How long has this been going on? It sounds like you are doing all the right things-fruits & veggies, lots of water. Maybe your body just needs time to adjust? How is your fiber intake?
I have to double check the fiber. I assume I was getting enough because I've been really good on the veggies and fruit intake.0 -
I think you should up your fiber content.
I just bought some unflavored fiber powder so that I can add it to my meals. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm hoping to increase the time between getting hungry with it in my favorite meals.0 -
phsyllium husk is really good for constipation x0

You're supposed to poop once a day or more however some people have irregular bowels which is [technically] regular to them...
Go to the doctors, that's the only way to be certain0 -
I have to agree with the last post...Benefiber is great...much better to digest than Metimucil. I mix a Tbs., in a tea cup with hot water each night and it tastes great and you should notice a difference in less than a week. You can take Benefiber every night and it also has added calcium for us that are calcium deficient. Excercise is always good, but, yes, I realize that it is difficult to excercise when you are bound up. I have felt your pain, so good luck and keep good thoughts.0
