The subject line says it all:( I started on my supplements a month ago and I've been experiencing moderate to severe constipation(the fun just never ends). I've read many of the back posts and see that it's very common. This is really new for me. I've always had a very regular and routine bathroom schedule. What can I do? I'm on list one so my veggie choices are limited. I've been making sure to drink lots of spring water, added a few more veggies to my plate and heated my chicken soup as hot as I could take it. Still no improvement(or should I say movement:) Boaz is aware but hasn't wanted to make any changes as of yet. Does anybody have any ideas?

This has happened to me too.
This has happened to me too. I was a champion in the #2 dept. and then once I started treatment, that was all over. Happy to say that it is usually fine now but it's tough for awhile. Matia says it's because your gut is having a traffic jam. So much is trying to get out at once that it gets clogged up since you're now detoxing and dealing with die-off.
Has Matia (or Boaz) said it's OK for you to try magnesium? I have found that it is sometimes unpleasant, (burning after) but it has always gotten things moving for me. Taken with your last evening dose of supplements, it works like a charm the next morning.
When I was on list 1 and dealing with constipation, Matia told me to eat lots of spinach and cabbage. Movement, magnesium, lots of water and relaxation tends to help.
Good luck!
Hi there.
Hi there.
Yes, this happened to me, as well. I was backed up for days at times. I started really pounding the water and increasing cabbage- warm braised cabbage is nice and soft and somehow works like a charm.
It WILL start up again, but try not to strain.
Also, I find using a squatty potty has really helped with elimination. I have one in every bathroom.
Now I am going twice to three times a day so hang in there! Your poop will flow soon.
Love and light,

Squatty potty! Poop soup!
Squatty potty! Poop soup! Very big glass of warm water first thing in the morning.
Twinlabs magnesium caps. Not sure why Boaz would not allow these? I was allowed them from the beginning of treatment and only use occasionally now.
If we don't excel at health, the only other option is disease.
8 oz glass of warm not hot
8 oz glass of warm not hot water in the am when you first wake up. Don't get too dependent on magnesium!!! I use it only when I absolutely have to.
Thanks for all the great
