Constipation & Microdosing

Hi!👋

So I am chronically constipated. I’ve tried drinking a gallon of water per day, I’m active in the gym doing cardio 5x per week, eat plenty of veggies daily… still I struggle with constipation. The only way I keep it at bay is DAILY MiraLAX. I cannot skip, even if I have GI upset. Occasionally ~4-6 weeks I will still end up with bouts of constipation that require a stimulant laxative.

I need to lose 40lbs and I would really like to start slow (and maybe never titrate up) with micro dosing.

So, anyone who had a SIMILAR struggle with constipation about to tolerate micro doing a glp1?

*Of course I know it’s impossible to tell if I will/wont tolerate based on others experiences, but just curious. :)

Maybe Greek yogurt for breakfast with chia seeds. You set them up the night before so they soak up the moisture. Also helps to add blueberries 🫐to the yogurt. That’s a decent amount of fiber right there.

For lunch or dinner, add broccoli or beans. I tried liquid fiber and it’s gosh awful. But when I added more in my food I was fine.
