I'm . . .ahem . . .backed up, slow moving, etc. I'm constipated!!! <img src="http://www.asklenore.com/ubbthreads/images/icons/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.asklenore.com/ubbthreads/images/icons/blush.gif" alt="" /> Is this a common problem? Something I can attribute to the pills? Is there a solution? I'm also on the Zone diet and that has me a bit slow too. Is there a supplement I can take? I know increasing my water intake won't help. I already drink about 80 ounces a day in addition to other drinks (soda, milk, etc) Help!! My tummy hurts!!! <img src="http://www.asklenore.com/ubbthreads/images/icons/frown.gif" alt="" /> Vanessa

Substitute it for any oil you use except for cooking or buy the capsules and take them with your vitamins etc... If you drink any kind of smoothies or protein shakes you can add a TBS of flax oil to those too, it doesn't have any distinct flavor.

I've been out all day and didn't get to read your responses til I got home but in desperation at Walmart I bought some citrucel. I must have been channeling you Nona! Anyway. Here's hoping it works. I need some RELIEF!!! <img src="http://www.asklenore.com/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" /> Vanessa
