Airstream88 361 Posted March 6, 2017 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. 1 ladyT33 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blondie66 271 Posted March 7, 2017 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.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
