Sb And No Fibre???

[xnikx]

im startin SB diet tomo and it says not to eat any cereal for the 1st phase, but i rely on that so im not constipated, so what other fibre am i meant to eat to prevent this as 2 eggs a day will make it worse? and do people use the yolk too? :help:

You are supposed to eat a lot of vegetables, which contain a lot of fiber. I have had a lot of digestive problems in the past month (not all SBD related), and I have started taking Metamucil 3 times a day. It really does help with the constipation. I get the orange flavour, sugar free kind. It is really different than even 10 years ago... it's not all grainy, and it tastes like orange kool aid. So if you need a lot of fibre to stay regular, you may want to pick some up and try it. I even got my husband to start taking it, and he has had favourable results too.

Senna is good if you're constipated, you can get it from Boots. Skalar is right though, you should get enough fibre from veggies in the first few weeks just remember to drink plenty of water also, this will help flush you out. I have to report though, that I did get constipated in the first two weeks of SB, but it soon passes, and after a few doses of Senna I was sorted out in that dept!
