[Taniau]

I've actually heard this quite a bit when people start a healthy eating plan, some will say it's due to the decrease in the amount of fats that you're consuming. Healthy fats and oils keep things moving along

Also, lots of water and Magnesium rich foods.

Hope it gets better soon!

 

[f1anj]

Me too. Thought all the fruit and Veg would have helped :-\

Hi there i believe it is quite normal to have constipation and be windy, great ways to combat this is to have some high fibre, healthy extras, the ones with 2f, (ff) in the book and lots of water will help.

I find garlic makes me very windy, but as long as i drink lots of water the constipation is a short lived thing that happens at the beginning.
