What I have is psyllium husk but thats more of a preventative measure. If you are already having problems with C, I don't think you should have it.
Not sure what you can try, have you tried drinking more water??
Hear sometimes people with this problem use senekot?
Of course don't listen to me, go see your pharmacist sure they will know what to do!!
Hope you feel better soon. xx

Drink plenty of water, and take psyllium husks from holland and barrett this will help prevent constipation, if you are already suffering with it, then you might have to take a ducolax or something similar, but as soon as you have got it back on track then start the psyllium husks capsules.

I am not sure of the contents of senekot, and I think they might be for when you have constipation rather than prevention, you also cannot use fybogel.

I have used the psyllium husk capsules both times that I have been on this diet and it has not effected my weight losses, you can get them in holland and barrett
