Make sure you are drinking plenty of water. These tabs cause you to wee more, so if you don’t drink enough you can get dehydrated which in turn can cause constipation.

I was drinking plenty of water and still got very constipated. I can't understand why it has the opposite effect on @Ulebrun. Just gastrointestinal irritant? My GP worried my BG would go up when I came off it, but despite no change in diet, it doesn't seem to have.
