Constipation, Loose Stools & other potential side effects

Sometimes people using a VLCD meal replacement product can experience short term constipation.

As such, during the Healthy Weight For Life™ program it is important to:

1. Take preventative steps to reduce the risk of developing constipation
2. Be aware of your normal bowel habits and act early if you notice you are needing to open your bowels less than usual.
3. If you become constipated don’t ignore it, take action as soon possible
4. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist if symptoms persist, if faeces are bloodstained or black and tar-like, if you have other symptoms such as a headache, fever or pain.
