OK- kinda yucky question

[loser4life]

Ok, When I did this program years ago I remember having umm, fiber problems I guess... I would get constipated and now I seem to have quite the opposite... ALL the time! Anyone else have this problem? (sorry for the grodie post!)

Re: OK- kinda yucky question

It's either one or the other, I find, unless you take flax seed meal (make crackers or cereal with it, it's yummy) or psyllium husks.

So, yeah, you aren't alone, and that's why we go nuts over new flax recipes!

Re: OK- kinda yucky question

I am confused....I definitely DON'T need flax.... No extra help needed here whatsoever!!!!! For the past month or so anyway!

Re: OK- kinda yucky question

No, no. Fiber supplements help BOTH kinds of problems, honest!

Re: OK- kinda yucky question

I am not having a problem either way but then again I have been eating flax seed meal muffins everyday. I did not know that flax seed meal worked both ways though. I was thinking the same thing as Rikki when you said to eat flax seed meal. I thought that was going to make her problem worse. What do I know? I guess I learn things from you guys all the time.

Fiber is amazing. It is prescribed for chronic diarhea as well as constipation. Go figure!

Re: OK- kinda yucky question

LOL Sharon.. spinach curry huh?

I can attest to fixing THAT problem with flax Loser. My system does the same thing yours does. Prepare some flax muffins or crackers and be sure to have something each day. Doesnt take much.

Re: OK- kinda yucky question

you can get it in the grocery store. Usually in the health food section or at a health food store!
