The first year or so on the diet my body swung from constipated to
diarrhea. Eventually that all settled down.
I find that having 2-3 TBs of unheated honey adds effective lubrication
to the stool (who knew?). I have also used high meat with great success
to relieve constipation. Both methods seem to work within a day or so.
I do not believe that adding fiber to the diet will make any difference
- it has never worked for me.
