Anyone on low carb struggling with not getting enough fibre?

Senna I take for constipation when flares up seemed to work better than lactulose (liquid) did not sure if you've tried either. My mum found despite lactulose sugars not supposed to be absorbed did increase bg a little. Own experience not been loo for days very sore to go after few days senna twice daily, when movement of very very soft stools couple more days single tablet seem to be lot better for a good while. Also found pregablin alongside cocodomal effects sitting down to loo a fair bit. Lowered dosages this time around almost 2 months since last had pretty bad constipation. Perhaps worth discussing with Dr if something like above maybe suitable for yourself?

I make my own coleslaw, (sweetheart cabbage, carrot, red onion, light or normal mayonaise (plus/or celeriac, red cabage) I have this at any meal,breakfast, lunch as a side for dinner or as a snack, full of fibre and slows sugar/ carb absorbtion of anything to eat afterwards.

Also like a hot breakfast, bubble and squeak , using any previously cooked veg but mainly , any sort of cabbage, any sort of onion, with celeriac (I use as a potato substitute), butternut squash, sweet potato, parsnip, carrot. I also eat a full english say bacon, eggs, no added sugar baked beans from M&S (50p) occasionally a with a slice of pumpernickel from Tesco ( seems to lasts forever). All packed with fibre.

Water can also come in the form of tea, coffee, sparkling, milk etc so mix it up if you find litres of water a bit daunting.
