I have always suffered with constipation and IBS so when I started Atkins I was told "you're being silly, you'll make your problems even worse! Atkins causes constipation ... "

Anyway I've been taking medication for my problem for months and still had ongoing problems. But then I discovered Flax. I make cereal with it and put it in protein shakes etc and for the first time in around 3 years ... I'm able to STOP using medication and my bowels are working NATURALLY.

So could it really be that Atkins has IMPROVED my IBS problem?
