    I assume you want to use them for constipation, not for "boosting" weight loss... right? You should not have laxatives -- not in Induction, not ever -- unless everything else fails. Dr. Atkins recommended flaxseed meal, psyllium husks or wheat bran for constipation issues. You will have to drink these with a lot of water or otherwise they will only make the problem worse. If these don't work, try a stool softner as its action is less agressive than that of a laxative.

        Glycerine suppositories are an option. But I would try extra fiber and water first... for obvious reasons.
