GD and constipation

Anyone else having problems with this!?!?  I feel like I haven't had a "good poop" in ages!  I asked my doc about it yesterday and he recommended citrucel and that really only gave me gas....not poop!  Anyone using anything that works?

    I will usually eat a light yogurt or drink a small cup of coffee with milk and that seems to help "get things going"

    I know what you mean- I used to eat a bowl of oatmeal with fresh fruit practically every morning and cut that off as soon as I was diagnosed with GD.  I try to eat an apple every day and if that doesn't help- maybe try some prunes.

    Once my body adjusted to the diet I became regular, but it took a week or two. Now I enjoy the Fiber One brownies (the peanut butter ones are delish!) and they have helped (in addition to tons of water). Good luck!

    I hear you on this one!  I eat lots of baby carrots (my nutritionist says it's a "freebie" as a vegetable, but it does have some carbs so it may raise your sugar a bit) and if things really aren't moving along, I take some probiotic pills from Trader Joe's.  (The acidophilus and probiotic complex with the purple label.)

    I take colace and eat prunes if it's really bad.  Coffee is by far the fastest...I was relieved this week when I splurged on a lite caramel high rise cooler (gave up all caffeine the first 12 weeks):)  Fiber helps, but sometimes makes me gassy as well.  Not good in an office :)
