Hi Smiles! I also had this problem. My bowel movement was so hard it made me bleed when I went. Terribly painful! Glycerine supositories help a lot. Stool softners helped a little. Metamucil helped a lot but I hated drinking it every couple days. I ate mostly protein with very little carbs. Then I noticed when I made my mom's recipe for meatloaf which I use oatmeal in ( instead of bread crumbs), eggs, tomato sauce and a whole onion and green peppers chopped up, I went to the bathroom easily. It did not seem to affect my weight loss. I still was losing well and I had no bathroom problems for the first time in a year. So then I tried fruit and occasionally other carbs which totally fixed my bowel problems but it really has slowed my weight loss. Even though I have still been eating my high protein, I guess I have had too many carbs ( too much fruit) but I am still losing but it has slowed considerably. I decided I am going to go back to my high protein low carb diet religiously, but will have my meatloaf occasionally to ward off constipation.

Good luck,

Cheyenne
