I have not had that problem. Maybe because I try to eat a high fiber diet, which keeps everything moving.

Constipation hasnt been a problem for me if anything I have noticed a much better regulated system. I agree with Rick try some fiber like an apple or raisins or even a glass or apple or grape juice are excellent and drink water...water keeps everything moving better.

I like the vitamins as well so I understand your desire to keep taking them....check your diet and your excercise level.....sometimes we are eating foods that cause us to back up like rice and calcium is a wonderfull nutrient but it can cause constipation too.....so make sure your adding some fiber type foods like I mentioned and see if that doesnt help.

Good luck Dodger

I take a supplement call Natural Calm. It's just super-soluble magnesium, nothing really magic, but it really works. It also helps with anxiety and muscle tension I have. You can usually get it at the health food store. And do pay attention to what you eat, of course.

I'm not taking the good days, but to keep things moving, I make bran muffins with All Bran Cereal (recipe on the box). They freeze well, and are good, too. When I run out or I travel, I take Citrucel tablets with a glass of water. I hope that helps!

Another good thing that will help you is two tablespoons of ground flax seed in about a quarter of a cup of water at night before bed. (If you take fish oil daily take that in the a.m.)

Another thing you can use is Ayur Triphala once a day. It's a capsule.
