Constipation - Day 3 of Cleanse

Options
Is anyone else experiencing constipation? I am on my last day of the cleanse (down 3lbs) but am so constipated and bloated today. Today was chickpea day - could that be it? I guess I will see what my weight is tomorrow. I hope it isn't because I made a ton of vegetable soup with chickpeas in it! I am still out on Almonds.

    Hi slkilby,

    I don't recall anyone else with that reaction, but I would suspect the chickpeas. Maybe you can find someone to donate the soup to. I'd suggest you try making it without the chickpeas, or substitute the broccoli soup that's in the cookbook.

    I can attest to constipation with The Plan. I am on Day 18 and my digestion is no better than it was pre-Plan. Despite eating so many healthful greens and fiber, AND taking probiotics, without having my whole grains and complex carbs, I'm lost. This also interferes with testing data. Frustrating.
