sueskarma Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 With all these veggies I thought I would be ok. Maybe the change in my diet has shocked me...but I'm in need of some help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee Lee Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 We prefer magnesium as a natural laxative, but if you've had success with those in the past, the senekot's fine...benefiber is not. What day are you on? If you're still in the first week or so, it's common. Your body will catch up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sueskarma Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 thanks for the quick response! I'm on day 5. If nothing happens today I'll go with the senekot. I'm pretty uncomfortable. I'm sure it will work out soon, but I get diverticulitis and a back up is not good for me....I'm in for the long haul tho so I know I will regulate eventually!

Bet Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I was also backed up for a few days. I do take magnesium regularly and eventually things got going again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nadia B Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Also, try to limit veggies high in fiber for several days (I know I know it's not the common belief, but read this). I found that starchy veggies and berries (like raspberries) help a LOT. And magnesium, of course. Make sure it's not Magnesium+Zinc one (Zinc is actually bringing the opposite effect you want;)).
