Hi Girls and guys,
I am at present 5 days into a restart of the Cambridge diet. This is my 3rd attempt over the last 2 years to try and change my life and get control back and to get myself to the stage where , for the first time in my life I would be classed as normal, not obese, not morbidly obese, but normal.
However, there are 2 things i really struggle with when it comes to the cd.
The first is the obvious.... the cost. clearly moving to s&s would greatly help in that area.
The second issue i have is constipation. OMG i have suffered so much with that and even though im only 5 days into my restart i am already noticing things becoming 'difficult' once more.
The first time i did cd I was eventually forced to come off by my gp after not 'going' to the toilet for 16 days and ending up in a LOT of pain.
The last time i did cd things didnt get quite so bad as i was taking fibre suppliments plus movicol every day. However, things were still painful and i constantly had tummy ache after a month or so.
I've been looking into s&s and have ordered the 25 trial pack and was wondering if, with the fact that i can have actual food packs and some veg ( although i havent been able to find a list anywhere of what veg or measurements of daily veg anywhere) is constipation still likely to be such a problem.
So, as sensitive as the subject is I guess what i'm asking is does anyone suffer with constipation on 4 packs of S&S with meal packs and added veg? .
I will, if necessary still take the fibre suppliments but i am hoping to be able to avoid having to rely on laxatives in order to just go to the toilet 1-2 times in a week.
Thanks in advance for any advice u can give me on this sensitive subject matter
