Why do i get constipated when I up my protein intake?

[BobbyHasBeenBad]

Hello.

When i increase protein i get constipated. I increase water as well and take psyllium husk?

Is something wrong or should i just take more psyllium husk?

Thanks.

how much fiber are you taking in...?

I take approximately 2 spoonfuls of psyllium husk per day and now 3.

well maybe you need more vgetable fiber. psyllium is a different kind of fiber. one is soluble one is insoluble. you might just need to get more of the other kind(veggie).

Other then upping your protein how has your diet changed? There could really be a lot of variables here.

you find them yucky? LOL...

psyllium can cause constipation if proper hydration is not followed.

Try adding some kidney beans to your chicken & rice...

Thank you for the advice. I think my problem may have been no veggies...I will try adding them in my diet first even though tey are yucky.

I will let you know how ti goes.

Jerry Seinfeld's wife has a book out on how to disguise food and make it yummy for kids.  Maybe that's something to look into.

Also, don't forget fruit.  Lots of high fiber ones - strawberries, kiwi, apple...
