Continued Constipation

Hello again, Dr. Jeff

I'm still having much difficulty achieving bowel movements and I'm at a loss as to what I should do.

Because I'm in my first trimester my usual Trace Minerals now causes severe nausea, so I haven't been able to rely on that for regularity. I tried prunes (as per your suggestion), but only got cramps, gas, and bloating. I purchased and tried both Colace and Miralax; neither of which did anything either, even with taking double doses of each!
Since I'm unable to take traditional laxatives (due to pregnancy) I feel like I'm not making any improvements by not having the recommended amount of bm's.
As it is, I'm only having one every other morning, sometimes 2 mornings in a row.
Should I quit the Plan or continue on in the hopes things will get better?
I don't want to put myself or my baby at risk by having these toxins trapped inside of me.

Thank you! Tweet
