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:
- Take preventative steps to reduce the risk of developing constipation
- Be aware of your normal bowel habits and act early if you notice you are needing to open your bowels less than usual.
- If you become constipated don’t ignore it, take action as soon possible
- 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.
