Hey my loves I have a bit of a sensitive question for you and any advice would be much appreciated .
Cutting out the middle man I eat very few if any carbs ( won't bore you with my story again) now due to having no taste meals times are not much fun gas I am sure you can imagine .
However since changeing my diet completely and eating next to no carbs ( maybe a ryvitta or two and a very small amount of potatoes ) I have become very constipated to the point of just not being able to go without the help of laxatives. Now I am wondering if any of you have or have had similar problems and how did you resolve it.
I am just very uncomfortable because my bowels have changed so much over the last few months or so since really changeing my diet.
All advice taken my loves sorty for the nature of this to to be honest I will assume that all of us will have noticed changes due to our diet change and commitment to winning this diebetes battle.
best wishes guys

Hiya. I see @zand advised you "As regards the constipation - do you drink plenty of water? I found psyllium husks and plenty of veggies helped. Obviously the lack of exercise in the past few months doesn't help this, but that's been enforced on you."
Did you try any of that?
 
HI Hun thank you no I don't drink enough water I guess , I do drink tea like its going out of fashion . I do eat plenty of veg but your right exercise is an issue. I do swim twice a week as that is the only place I can be pain free.
Guess I need to uptake my intake of water .
 
I go with the view that water is water whether neat, in tea or in coffee. I think I've missed something about "due to having no taste meal times are not much fun". Is that the meals, or because you've lost your sense of taste? If the former I'm sure we can cheer up your diet. And maybe set some changes in, er, motion ;)
 
Lol Hun x My enjoyment in food is just not there I can't taste anything really sometimes say things like onion or cabbage I at first get a taste on my first bite but then it just goes.
The Drs just keep saying there is nothing they can do they sometimes say it could none my sinus but that's pretty much all.
That said any advice on cheering up my diet would be apprecated thus setting those changes in motion . Hee hee xx
