Stomach Problems

[louise m]

Since starting the diet two weeks ago - losing 8 pounds!"! - I have had severe constipation. Dukan says in his book that this may happen in the first few days but will soon disappear. It hasn't for me! Anybody have any ideas how to deal with this pesky problem? I can't use prunes because I am still on the cruise phase and fruit is not allowed. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Sennakot, Dulcoease, laxatives, lots of green veg, black coffee, ice cold water, sepositaries...

are you eating your daily allowance of oat bran and as a tolerant you can have 1 tbl of wheat bran which also helps. A daily 20 minutes walk and loads of water helps with transition, if all else fails then you might need a little help from the chemist.
