[QUOTE="TriciaWs, post: 2162523, member: 475901"] I tend to have issues with constipation as I take prescribed codeine, so going low carb was a problem at first (not just less fibre from fruits etc but sugar is a laxative. See what happens if you feed sugarly meds to breastfed babies!). I adapted by developing my own mix of a little oatbran (lower in carbs than rolled oats) with loads of flaxseed and a little chia. Made with coconut milk and water, served with a pinch of salt, cinnamon and double cream. Chia is great for bulking out stools, but I found more than a small spoonful caused cramps/discomfort at first so introduce it slowly. Don't forget to add salt to veg, etc. if you've stopped eating processed foods - our bodies need some, especially if you drink more water. [/QUOTE]
