Have tried numerous recommended fixes to include all types of fiber but found the best to be either Milk Thistle for liver and gallbladder function or good ole Magnesium Citrate tablets (acts much like Milk of Mag but no "Diarrhea").

had the same problem when starting new diet back in May 2012. only last for 3 or 4 days and might also have headaches and funny taste in your mouth due to the body going in to Ketoses state (driven by adjusting calories, carb, fat and protein intake which puts the body in to fat burning state).
