What is your Protein goal? Have you increased your exercise lately? If so, you may want to up your protein to compensate.

I use Colace and Smooth Move tea for general Constipation issues. My PCP does not recommend laxatives - he prefers to treat the problem from below - i.e. using suppositories or enemas. I've only had to do that once.

I took senokot s and make sure you're eating enough. U should be able to have some normal food. Sometimes at that early stage i'd have to eat more to get things moving..
