Hi Chris,
I too was having constipation BIG TIME and my health food store lady (who is on the way to becoming a homeopathic doctor) told me to try about 1000 miligrams or so of VITAMIN C (she actually said I could take 5000 miligrams but I opted for the1000)...... but warned me it could cause some diahrea. BUT that was fine with me. Did I go???? You bet I did! So give that a whirl. Plus the extra Vitamin C is supposed to be really good for you during this time as it helps pump up your immune system. :) Good luck and let us know how it goes. :)
