atkins and constipation
I unable to "go".... Atkins suggests psyllium husks. I found sugar-free ones
at the grocery store (sugar-free metamucil) but it contains aspartame. Atkins also says stay away from aspartame. Does anyone know where I can get psyllium husks without sugar or aspartame in it? Thanks. -- Steve in phx

It comes in a tub labeled "Secrets of the Psyllium" in the vitamin section. It's a little hard to take though - I can't drink it down with water as the label recommends. I've been mixing a tablespoon into a bowl of ricotta for breakfast. Next time I am going to try psyllium husk capsules, which I believe one can also get at Trader Joe's. You might look into that option as well. carla

Eat 2 or 3 Carbolite "LC" bars. Wait about an hour and get ready for
blast-off. Mertz "steve" wrote in message news:WHf6c.8632$Bg.751@fed1read03... I unable to "go".... Atkins suggests psyllium husks.

As far as I know they have no sugar or aspertame (no flavoring is needed, as these are in capsule form and are swallowed whole). I got mine at the Vitamin Shoppe. Lee

Sugar free Beneful is good, there are also some other natural remedies like
licorice root pills, asparagus seems to get things moving also -- Diane Atkins since 12/4/2003 234/208/150 5"8 "steve" wrote in message news:WHf6c.8632$Bg.751@fed1read03... I unable to "go"....

If you can't get some try magnesium--500 mg or so should do the trick as well. If 500 doesn't do, try a little bit more. Magnesium is good for and helps the body absorb calcium. Too much will give diarrhea. glenn
