Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004atkins and constipation
I unable to "go".... Atkins suggests psyllium husks. I found sugar-free ones at the grocery store (sugar-free metamucil) but it contains aspartame. Atkins also says stay away from aspartame. Does anyone know where I can get psyllium husks without sugar or aspartame in it? Thanks. -- Steve in phx > I unable to "go".... Atkins suggests psyllium husks.

It comes in a tub labeled "Secrets of the Psyllium" in the vitamin section. It's a little hard to take though - I can't drink it down with water as the label recommends. I've been mixing a tablespoon into a bowl of ricotta for breakfast. Next time I am going to try psyllium husk capsules, which I believe one can also get at Trader Joe's. You might look into that option as well. carla > I got plain psyllium husks at Trader Joe's. It comes in a tub labeled > "Secrets of the Psyllium" in the vitamin section.

There is a Trader Joe's right down the street. I will try it. -- Steve in Phx what about dulcolax? low carb pills? http://www.lowcarbsuperbooster.com/mlm/spon.aspx?spon=babycallie Info at http://www.bodyandfitness.com/Information/Herbal/Research/psyllium.htm > I unable to "go"....

As far as I know they have no sugar or aspertame (no flavoring is needed, as these are in capsule form and are swallowed whole). I got mine at the Vitamin Shoppe. Lee Sugar free Beneful is good, there are also some other natural remedies like licorice root pills, asparagus seems to get things moving also  SignatureDiane Atkins since 12/4/2003 234/208/150 5"8 > I unable to "go"....

No additives at all, just husks in a capsule. If you can't get some try magnesium--500 mg or so should do the trick as well. If 500 doesn't do, try a little bit more. Magnesium is good for and helps the body absorb calcium. Too much will give diarrhea. glenn |
