I would agree, but even the slightest sign of passing blood needs to be checked out. I suspect it's the hard quality of the stool that is the problem, hopefully nothing more serious. But it is more uncomfortable now.Hi
I have found the same but have increased vegetable consumption and have more water than usual. Seems to help. Need to increase fibre intake more. I figure that the slight constipation is a small price to pay to get blood sugar under control.
Others may have some ideas
I find that more leafy green veg, lots more water and a tablespoon of psyllium husk in a glass of water works very well.
A couple of things you could try in addition to magnesium - salt and/or MCT oil (start off with very small doses of the latter if you want to avoid a scary condition called "disaster pants").
I'm waiting until my body adapts (if it does) before i start exercising.Also more exercise - I tend to find if I don't do my daily walks, my digestive tract slows down. Its a fact that exercise aids digestion because the action of the muscles moving in the abdomen moves things along naturally!
Psyillium is just too expensive. It's £17 in the shops. I cannot afford thatKale does it for me. About a cup a day and I'm fine. Drink plenty of fluids too and try not to eat too many eggs and too much dairy or red meats as these have a tendency to clog up the works. I agree with all the other suggestions too as the more fibre you eat the more it offsets the carbs and bulks "things" out. Psyllium husk is a good idea as this also helps digestion in the colon. Lemon water, mint and ginger tea, sesame seeds, natural oils, coffee, raw nuts (unbalanced) and walking to help with the gut peristalsis. Hope some of this helps.
