Re: laxatives
Are you taking flax or psyllium husk as recommended in the book? Drinking LOTS of water (this helps ALOT)?Julie__________________F/37/5'2"__________________Start April 15, 2009

Re: laxatives
It is not advisable to take laxatives on Atkins. If you have problems with constipation, use flaxseed meal, psyllium husks or wheat bran, as explained in the book. If everything fails, try a stool softener."Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster."
