Good God! I thought I had trouble with constipation! You 2 need to do something or you are going to be shitting just fine from a wheelchair. How much liquid are you getting in a day? I HAVE to get at least 120 ounces but I usually get more. @newanatomoy , I think you are taking TOO much fiber. Too much will clog up everything.
Different types of calcium that don't cause constipation: (so I have heard, no personal experience because I have mine under control)
calcium hydroxyapatite
Liquid calcium citrate
Upcal D powder
Hopefully, bearmom will be back with other suggestions.
Good to see you here!!
I am getting all of my required calcium citrate. I was hoping to get it from the patch to avoid the constipation issues. I have never stopped taking my calcium citrate, I have just tried to combat constipation. I am only getting 25 grams of fiber a day, the recommended amount for an adult woman. I need the fiber, otherwise I was pooping pebbles all day long, very annoying! Fiber helps get it together. It is also a prebiotic, good for the gut. I drink tons! I stop counting at 64 ounces but, I drink all day long. I will look into the other calcium options.
