Robin, good for you for following Heather's diet! Your constipation will ease, but it can take up to a couple of weeks. Are you on a soluble fibre supplement? It's really critical for constipation. Try acacia, benefiber, equalactin, citrucel, to name a few. Start on a VERY low dose and increase it SLOWLY to avoid pain and gas. In the meantime, drink lots of peppermint tea (it will help keep the colon relaxed = a better chance for a BM), tons of water, and get some exercise.
