    Can you open up your diary? Really no way to healp without knowing what you are, or perhaps are not, eating. Also, how much water do you drink a day? Has this ever been an issue in the past?

    Open your diary, it's a lot easier to answer questions on here when we can see what the person is putting into their bodies.

    More fiber needed, maybe? Do you drink water?

    I'm going thru something similar. Not stopped but less frequent. I believe it's the calorie cut back so I will add more cals thru veggies and see if it helps. May want to try the same.

    Wow, when you finally do go you are going to have a fabulous weigh in, lol. Seriously though, lots, lots, lots of water, veges, fruits and some good probiotics can do wonders.

    It's normal and will correct itself over time. Your body is just adjusting to the new diet.

    -Drink lots of water
    -Make sure you're getting enough fiber
    -Make sure you're eating AT LEAST 1200 cals (more cals if you're working out)
    -A cup of coffee always helps for me :)

    TMI? Sure. But do you know how many posts I've seen on periods and sex? If that can be discussed, why not pooping? LOL. At least she is not describing the size and shape and how it comes out!

    A single cup of coffee first thing n the morning can also help. Sounds weird but it really does work.

    try adding ground flaxseed into your diet. you can add it to smoothies, to yogurt, baking, sprinkle on cereal, on just about everything! It works. Two tablespoons a day is the recommended dose.

    I know it's gross, but in situations like this I hold my nose and dive for the prune juice.

    I took a quick glance at your diet. Maybe you should cut back on the cheese and add a few more fresh veggies in there. Dairy can sometimes bind you up.

    I hope you feel better!
