About constipation, dehydration can contribute, especially in this heat. After DS, we are easily prone to dehydration. I always have a "slurpee" size glass of ice water at hand and try to drink one of them between meals. Calcium can slow me down, so if things get out of hand, I might skip calcium for a day or two, and then redouble it after the mountain moves, so to speak. A corned beef sandwich, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pork spareribs, lots of butter at every meal (like an entire cube over the course of the day) are other sure fire mountain movers. Maybe you aren't eating enough in quantity? Try adding another meal to your day, of fruits and vegetables, to add to the quantity. Sympathies for the pain of this!
