To Lowcarbdieter,
I think I may know what may be causing your issues with constipation. You say you drink tons of green tea. Green tea is known to cause constipation. Low carb dieting does as well. Cut way back on the green tea, and see the improvement. I was recently on the 17 day diet- very popular here is the U.S. The diet included at least 3 cups of green tea per day. Scores of people were complaining about constipation. The author- a doctor, advised to cut back or eliminate the green tea. This made a big difference for many people- including me.
Adding complex carbs back in, such as fruits and vegetables high in fiber also will help. We need those in our diets. It is the simple carbs like sugar, white flour, white rice, etc...that we should avoid. Taking psyllium husk capsules or powder is also helpful. Stay away from laxatives. They do more harm than good. Good luck to you!
