I thought it was suppose to stop you up! Give you bad gas etc.... Go ahead and laugh,LOL. Any insight is appreciated. :) Melissa ---------------------------- Attitudes are contagious, is yours worth catching?

Through them in, like clockwork the fireworks begin! My diet is VERY high in protein and marginal in carbs. But I had this problem something fierce a few weeks ago. I cut back on whey shakes and ate more solids. I tired all the recommendations on the site, pills, herbs, etc.. Nothing seemed to work like eating more solid foods. Good luck. -------------- Ischjli "Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." -- T. S. Elliot

People see me eating all this protein and tell me I will get constipated. Nope. Thanks for answering I thought I was abnormal. I am going to have to play around with my carbs because I really bottomed out this week. :) Melissa -------------- Attitudes are contagious, is yours worth catching?
