Okay, I drink water like I am supposed to but my usual nightly dose of Senekot S is not doing the trick anymore. I have tried the Psylium Husk, didn't work. I want to do Metamucil but it has carbs, help!

Did you take the Psyllium Husk pills? I take 3 pills twice a day and that fixes me up. It is not a laxative so it won't send you to the bathroom right away. Wait a 2-3 days and you should be regular again. Atleast it worked for me.

KONSYL is 100% Psyllium Fiber that you mix with water. I find it works better than tablets like Fiber Con. I use my battery operated drink blender to get it mixed real good. It's available at Walmart. Available carbs, ie net, per dose is .05g. It doesn't have anything in it except 6 grams of Psyllium Hydrophilic Mucilloid per dose, no sugar. ....it doesn't taste great, but if you drink it fast it's not so bad.

1 tablespoon of ground flax seed sprinkled on my salad daily works for me

Yea,i am taking psyllium husk now.you have to wait for a couple of days before it works. But the process of waiting is very terrible as for my case i was very very constipated and all these worsens the bloatfulness i have to battle against with.

It should help,Take care!!

Can anyone tell me if the FiberCon tablets have carbs in them? I just got a generic equivalent and I don't want to go whole hog if they're loaded with carbs.

Thanks

I use the pill form of colon cleansers. You can buy them in your local vitamin store. They work great!! I usually take 2 in the evening, 2 nights in a row and let's just say i get results

People do say that you shouldn't take them too often because your body will get too used to them. I try to only take them once a month (usually the week before TOM when i feel the most bloated.) i hope i am replying to a female.

Ground flax seed is definitely a good option. Not only does it help with constipation, it's a good source of healthy Omega-3 fatty acids. You could try sprinkling it on a salad or mixing it into a protein shake. I actually like it mixed half and half with wheat bran (1/4 cup each) with 1/2 cup of very hot water and a little Splenda, cream and butter; it's a great substitute for oatmeal on these cold winter mornings.
I got my DH hooked on this too and neither of us has problems with constipation anymore.
