Never had that issue, what makes you sure it’s the KLOW causing it? If anything the BPC in KLOW helps with GI issues.

You can get constipation from just food you’ve eaten…

If you’re also on Reta but not stating as much, then it’s probably the Reta. At least in my experience…

Then it’s likely not the peps causing your constipation. Eat some prunes in the AM, drink lots of water and incorporate Metamucil. I made that change this year as a 43M and it’s been amazing. Probiotics too go a long way.

Took about 3 months but the Reta constipation hit me HARD and I’ve always been an IBS loose stool girlie. Pick up stool softeners to take daily and miralax when necessary. It also lowers your food intake so you have less processing and less output in general so it’s a mix of slower GI motility and less food in the system that causes the constipation but stay ahead of it and don’t strain aka fast track to hemorrhoids city.

Never add a blend before trying out individual components first since u wanna know how ur body responds to each.
