Hi, I am new to the support forum and would like to introduce myself.

I am glad there is a forum like this on the net. I have been on the Atkins Diet for only 5 days and have lost 10 pounds but I am having a very bad problem with loads of pressure on my bowels.

Just wondering if anyone else has problems going to the bathroom or if anyone has any advice on what I can do to relieve the pressure.

Anyways, glad to know there are people out there to talk to about weight loss.

Welcome!

You have to make sure you get enough fiber. Many people take fiber in the form of psyllum husks here. I think you can get it in capsule form? It might take a few days for your body to adjust to a low carb way of eating.

Thanks alot for the reply. I thought maybe I needed some fiber but wasn't sure what I could eat to get fiber in my system. I will try the pills you suggested and let you know how they are working.

Thanks again,

Psyllium also works well for me. You also need to make sure you are drinking enough water.
