This is my third day on the two week special k diet and since day 1 I've been constipatedMy b.m.'s are hard and it freakin hurts! Will this go away or should I stop the diet asap? I drink 8 cups of water daily and eat fruit with my cereal so whats the problem?
I like Bare Minerals, but over time I have started to prefer Ecco Bella and Burt's BeesIn terms of coverage (blemishes, etc), Bare Minerals is a little better than Ecco Bella, but if your skin is breaking out, it can be indicative of a poor diet or stressI don't have to wear much foundation because I take an herbal combination called Skin Detox from a company called Nature's SunshineSince I don't eat a lot of junk food in the first place, the herbal combo helps give my skin that extra boost to stay clear, which results in me having better coverage results with Ecco Bella and Burt's Bees.
Constipation can often be relieved by doing the following1Eat supplementary fiberUnsweetened soluble fiber such as Metamucil will help with relief while adding very few caloriesBe sure to buy the sugar free variety if you're on a diet2Drink more waterWe get much of our water from solid foodSo, cutting back on solid food intake will also be cutting back on waterTry to drink two liters of water daily3Get exerciseJust walking can help support rapid GI transit timeThe skeletal muscles involved in activity can assist the smooth muscle of the intestines and the peristalsis required to move chyme through the colon so less water is extracted4Take stool softenersCheck with your pharmacistDucolax is a popular brand in the USNote that stool softeners are not the same a laxativesBe sure to select the proper product Do all of the above and you should experience substantial relief in a couple of days Good luck and good health!! ?
