Sunshine,

Probably not enough water and exercise. I tend to the same problem, but for me it has been chronic (worse on Atkins) ever since I was really little which was a REALLY long time ago!!

Be sure and "take care of business" at the first signal and don't put it off ... it gets worse and then your weight will go up. A whole lot of us experience that on Atkins because before (in an attempt to eat like the food pyramid) we were pushing whole grain bread, etc. and it's hard to get the fiber needed unless you really concentrate on the veggies.

I'm one to tolerate flax well (I make flax crackers), BUT drink the water or it has the opposite effect!! Some extra fiber would help...the book says syllium husks but I have never tried them. I HATE gloppy Metamusil type powders in fluid. Once I added it to orange soda and I had an erupting volcano of foamy mess all over the counter!!

I hope things work out!! (bad pun)
