Constipation from using fiber what to do?

[RepPower]

I have been taking fiber for three days it is a blend on ground flax seed and apple pectin and I have not been going these last two days now. Isn't fiber suppose to make you go more? why am I constipated? I'm thinking about taking some laxative to help me go but i don't know what.

Hmm sounds like something else, fiber is supposed to make you use the restroom. You can try a laxative in a small dose. That's what I would do.

It's not the fibre causing the problem. That fixes bowel issues. Apple pectin? Just get some psyllium husk and wheat bran. Mix them together and take 5 heaped teaspoons per day. Mix it in water.

are you drinking a ton of water to with that fiber? could be your problem right there . . .

yes, this is right on... oat bran as well... also, try drinking tea in the morning and again during the day... trust me, this will work

I see you are getting the fiber in, but what does the rest of your diet look like?

laxatives should be used when needed but I think you need to experiment with different diets and consider investing in a quality PRE/pro biotic.

bro very simple...you're not drinking enough water, even if you think you are, you're not bro...drink 1 gallon of water and watch it come...chase with a liter of hot water, as hot as tea....

Coffee enema works every time, just make sure its not to hot. If not then drink some water and take some magnesium low dose or good ol epsom salts. I'd go with the coffee just remember no need for cream and sugar.

If all else fails, google a product called Intestinal cleanse #1. Different companies make basically the same product. Find the cheapest one of course. Its advantage over laxatives is its completely herbal. I would recommend taking it only under desperate circumstances & for a day or two so you dont become dependant. It does work well though I can attest.

It's a combination of diet and water consumption in my opinion

It's most definitely hundred percent not the fiber that is making you constipated. I am Magent you were constipated before you started the fiber and it's just at a level where it's going to take more than a little bit of fiber to clean you out bro. I have had severe constipation before that took me a couple of days at least of intense fiber plus lots of laxatives and olive oil to do the job. Sometimes it takes a while to work.

I have to Agree with everyone before me.
If you're not Drinking Enough Water, you'll just make the Constipation Worse........................................ JP
P.S.
If you have some Magnesium Supps. around 800 to 1,200 Mg before Bed with 16 Oz of Water.
Will have you going the Next Day without the Cramping that a Laxative will cause.

Glass of warm water before you go to bed.

I have fought a tough battle between constipation and crapping every hour with crohns. Someone already mentioned the mag supp. and they work but can be a pain in the ass some times . Try Natures Life Mag 500 Soft (500MG); you can find them at any health food store, take 2 at night with a glass of water and you will go first thing in the morning.
