yea, this afternoon i am at day three with taking my generic phen, 30 mg mind you. it is completely a time release anoretic....i really have to remind myself to eat, ive lost all appetite, but i still eat fresh fruits and veggies only. no salts, sugars, or carbs!!!! its not that bad i tell you, and as for exercise you ask? just some speed walking around my apt. buildings...literally 5 minutes of it, BUT last night i spent 25 minutes in the bathroom if you know where im coming from?...i was so angry. thats never happened before to me so i was wondering what i should do next time. what vitamins should i be taking??? someone help!!! i really dont want to become sick. maybe i am overreacting; i just want to always be one step ahead should a problem occur!
thanks!

Hey annie:

I would suggest that you eat some fresh spinach. I eat alot of lettuce, and that has really helped me. And if I really have to, I will take a mild correctol. Grapes, cherries are just a few of the natural ways to help constipation. Search around this site, I know that there are several posts on this subject with alot of suggestions.

Good luck

peach...thanks so much for your advice. all i eat are fruits and veggies, but im going to eat more quantity because that may be the problem. grapes, cherries, and spinish i had no idea...i was hollering throughout the house for prunes...all i could think of.
but there were none. thanks again and i do intend to reserch it.
sincerely,
annie

Annie,
That is about the only problem I have had. I eat about 4 or 5 prunes every other day and it keeps me pretty regular. Exercise really helps too.
