Have you tried making the"muffin in a minute"? It's on the Atkins recipe list, approved for all phases... It's pretty good, very filling, and FULL of fiber... So it really helps you go :) That's my go to food when I'm stopped up!  

Thanks so much. Going looking for flaxseed meal today! 

You're welcome! I always find it at walmart, near the flour and yeast, it's usually on the top shelf. It's super cheap and you can use it in all kinds of recipes :) 

Another thing iv noticed on the LCHF diet im on which is similar to the Atkins, my Bullet Proof coffees because they are so high in fat content it causes me to go 

Digestive Enzymes works for me two capsules before each meal! 

Thanks CD, I've heard that about coconut oil from many sources. I have at least one BPC everyday, sometimes more. Have even tried doubling the coconut oil and butter with no effect (; I should probably mention that I am on daily narcotic medication which I think makes it 10x worse unfortunately.  

Heather, I'm not sure if I should be taking digestive enzymes because I've had bariatric surgery but I will most certainly research it. Thanks. 

What about coffee? I'm not on atkins, so I don't know what you're allowed to have. But black coffee is an old "remedy" they used to give to women after they gave birth if they couldn't...you know, go. (They used to not let women leave the hospital until they had a bowel movement!) 

Calysta, I take Tramadol daily so I know what you mean....fiber, real butter and coconut oil are the only things I can think of that will naturally work. Another thing Rite Aide sells this cleanse drink it comes in a pack of 10 you take two a day, I cant remember the name of them tho. But I took it when I first started my diet and it did wonders. Its meant to cleanse your body of bad toxins but if you tried it for one day its also a natural supplement. 

Thanks everyone. Today I'm buying flaxseed meal and miralax and pushing the green leafy veges. I know I can/should eat more veges. And I know I shouldn't weigh every day but I feel I can make adjustments if I know what's happening day to day. I have alot of hope that I will get things moving regularly. It's just disheartening to see it has such an effect on weight. 

Got the flaxseed meal and will try the MiM a little later. Have to wait on the miralax till tomorrow when we get paid. Its not inexpensive.  

I'm not on any particular diet so I didn't know this could be an issue. Is this a general problem with the Adkins diet? Doesn't it allow you to eat enough vegetables so this isn't a problem? 

I'm on Atkins and I take a metamucil tablet every nite, did not like the powder mixed with water 

The problem is not the atkins diet, the problem is my daily narcotic medication with the atkins diet.
