Started the low(er) carb diet a full 7 months ago but my bowel never adapted. Any words of wisdom?

(By the way, I lost 25 pounds on the low carb diet and now my type II Diabetes is in full remission. Imagine that: I was a vegan diabetic but now I am a egg-eating 'non-diabetic.')

Congrats on losing the weight and getting your Type ll Diabetes under control. Wow! That’s quite a testimonial. It’s not easy giving up carbs but it surely pays off.

Wondering if your bowels would benefit from a daily dose of Metamucil. That’s our go-to solution at our house when there are ‘less than productive’ issues down there. Links everything together and keeps the parastaltic movement in the guts normal.
My husband takes it daily but only a half dose. So that’s one teaspoon mixed in water daily. It’s helped him immeasurable with a gastro issue he developed a couple of years ago. No symptoms once he started the daily regimen. There is a sugar free version and it’s easy on the guts. No surprises if you get my drift. We eat healthy with plenty of fiber but this sets everything right.
Have you tried Metamucil?
