Special Side Effect from Liquid Diet!! HELP!

Help!  I am on my 2 week liquids only diet.... but I am having constipation like I have NEVER had before.  What can I do?

Take a laxative or mix some fiber in your liquids =)

If it gets real bad, you can try magnesium citrate.  It's sold OTC but I have to warn you it taste nasty!  It's better cold but still bad.  It is NOT the vitamin so be sure to get the liquid.  You will find it in the laxatives section.

It is getting worse by the day..Crying in pain is so not what I was expecting.  I have never had to deal with this before.. :( 

 

Thanks for your suggestions

Miralax and/or milk of magnesium help many 'normies'.

My hubby is doing the Mag citrate and it has cleaned his system out within hours of taking it, and he is a normie, so it does work.

Hope you get some relief soon.

Magnesium citrate helped me, but that initial experience on the potty was still painful, then things flowed easier.  I now drink half a cup of prune juice every day and that keeps me regular and softer.

I guess between the high protein and no foliage my body didn't know what to do.  I took one lax and things are better.  I will probably do that once every couple of days until it changes.
