Alright, as much as I hate to even reply to this post( you have to admit it is somewhat embarassing). I was actually hoping that someone would have the guts to post it. So, yes I have had this problem since I started Phen. I really don't know what to do about it. I usually don't have any trouble whatsoever since I drink sooo much water. But lately goodness knows, I just wish I could GO!

Since I started eating a high fiber cereal for breakfast I have not had that problem. Also GNC sells a fiber supplement called glucomannan and that is what I have on hand when I have the problem. ~Tammy

Increase your fiber like Tammy said...plus, I have found that 5 prunes every day helps a bunch!! If you don't want to eat the prunes, drink the juice. I know its not the best in the world but it does help. If you can drink it warm in the morning, it helps even more.

Hope this helps

Here's some advice from an old phenster by the name of Jesusonvacation..

"Trouble pooing? It could be you technique. I dont want to brag but Im not a half bad pooer myself. I come from a long line of great pooers and have been pooing myself since I was three. (We couldnt afford to poo when I was first born.)

A good guideline to proper pooing is to RELAX. Clear your mind of all troubling thoughts. Think soft serve ice cream,bombs over Tokyo,playdough funsets. You must train yourself to think like a pooh,act like a pooh and when necessary to be one with the pooh and above all else dont clench.

happy hunting!"

The soft serve ice cream thought really does work for me! LOL! But seriously, I have had this problem many times while on phen and honestly, when I would get stopped up, I'd take a laxative, just one, before I go to bed at night. Then in the morning... it's bombs over Tokyo!

Alright Phat, thas jus NASTY!! I hate prunes, and I think I am getting enough fiber. Drinking enough water to float Noah's Arc. And now all of my phriends know my problem. Could this get any worse? Yeah, I guess it could. But I am not going there! maybe I'll try this green tea stuff that I used to drink, I think that's what it's used for.

It's about time someone pointed that out. Was beginning to think I was the only one who noticed.

Of course that is strictly sg2sg (straight guy to straight girl)

Thanks guys you really know how to make a girl blush. Actually, I thought that that top was pretty concealing. Anyway, Thanks again, I think..
That pic was actually taken in Jamaica "hence the name" Anyone ever been there?
