Having problems with BMs and really need advice

Get off the diet. Work to be HEALTHY. Do so in HEALTHY ways -- exercise more, eat right, smaller portions, more water.

GET OFF ATKINS.

You are welcome

Go to biotrust.com and order Pro-X10. Best on the market and is good for anyone on any diet or not. You haven't had a movement because there's not enough roughage in the Atkins diet. When you do eat your vegetables, eat them last (salad after protein). Trust me on this.

Doesn't sound like this is a good fit. Try using My Fitness Pal (the app). It measures all sorts of things you are eating, and it will increase your awareness of what you put into your system. And drink LOTS of water. I'm a big believe of "Everything in moderation." Good luck

AlmostMrsKing that is awesome.

Stop Atkins. Drink a lot of water, and eat a lot of raw fruits and veggies. If that doesn't work within a day or two, call a doctor!!!

Oops, guess I should've read between the lines, eh?

The Atkins diet doesn't sound like a good option for you. Your body might have a hard time digesting all that protein. Every body's body is different, some can handle more protein than others. The average person can break down up to 25 grams in one meal. You can lose weight, still eating carbs, and do it so you feel comfortable! Also, high protein / very low carb diets aren't healthy or maintainable long term. I agree with the others who recommended you stop. Hope all is well!

I didn't read all the replies, but if you are in pain you should definitely see a

doctor ASAP! You could have a blockage which is very serious...

You could do your own version of Atkins that is high in protein and low in carbs. Cut out pasta and breads, and eat tons of veggies and fruit. Clean eating is the way to go!

DRINK PLENTY OF WATER. Several glasses per day. It works

I typically have to eat low carb, I would say lay off the dairy add more veggies. Most people get constipated when they eat lower carb it's pretty common. Just drink the water and look for low glycemic veggies. Akins has changed a lot over the years. You can have more veggies than people think you can. I know on the Akins there are several you can have as much as you want (good green leafy veggies). There is so much mis-information about low carb diets out there.

I have had issues with this for the past 2 years due to my bad diet and I have to take Miralax. I would suggest stop doing the Atkins diet and start taking something like that. I would try just taking it and drinking lots of fluids. I have tried laxatives and those can be very crampy and painful. I have never had this issue with Miralax .
