Re: Just wondering if I'm alone in this

I agree with the water and the fiber. I work as an ER nurse and I have seen so many people come in over the years severely constipated and it can be so painful for people. I have also seen cases so severe that they required surgical intervention.

I think there are some fiber supplements you can try that are lower in carb. Also, try to increase your complex carbs as much as you can. Things like brown rice and certain kinds of beans are great for this. The more complex carbs require energy for your body to burn them off and don't cause the spike in blood sugar that simple carbs like sugar do.

Hope this helps.
