For every 1000 cals you eat you should have a minimum of 15 grams of fiber to help things along.

I use fiberlyze by species. Love the stuff!

Maybe you need to slightly alter your diet. Adding certain foods will help with constipation. Here are a few links to info on what to eat for that problem:

I use konsyl. It's the best that I've tried. It's also heart healthy and lowers cholesterol. It's a bulk forming fiber. You should try it .

You'll find that if you increase your fluid intake when on diets like this, your bowel movements will become more regular. High protein and moderate to high fiber requires more fluids. Some fibers will absorb fluids which makes for ease of excrement. High protein requires more fluids both metabolic reactions and waste byproduct processing. If there isn't enough fluid balance then the shit in your gut will be lacking fluids, so it's harder to pass. Metamucil helps because it's a bulk forming laxative and you take it with water.

Is that some technical shit or what??
