To clarify, doesn't the morning banana constipate you?

Nope no constipation from bananas, i just love them, i only eat one a day though on the days that i do eat them, i try and rotate things as much as possible.}

Carageneenan seems to be fine for me, soy milk i dislike the taste of and generally try and limit my soy in my diet, plus it has a yucky aftertaste.

The hemp seeds i use for extra protein at breakfast, not for constipation, the flax will help much more for constipation, you could use both, but you would have to see how your body reacts to the fat.

All of my lunch veggeies are raw, i don't really like cooked food during the day, just doesn't appeal to me, these veggies i have found safe as long as i take my digestive enzymes.

they are all seperate and fresh and mostly organic.

seeds and nuts can be very gassy, but i chew them slowly and well and take my enzymes and i do fine, nuts are harder to digest than seeds, and the easiest way is to get pumpkin seed, sunflower seed or almond butter, so its pre-ground for you.

I always take them before i eat, i just put them in the wrong place when i typed.

i take magnesium , potassium aspartates, which is a really absorbable form, i take 4 caps a day divided in 2 doses, because of the type of mag it winds up as low dose, but really effective, i take it more for energy than constipation. I am starting a cal-mag tonight it is a 1:1 of 250 mg of each, if your calcium supplement constipates you, switch to a 1:1, since most sold are 2:1 call:mag.

Citrus fruits give me heartburn.
All in all like i said this all took time for me and i am still incorporating at my own pace, take your time and know that soon it will start going your way and that you can do it, just don't rush it. oh and baked sweet potatoes with roated veggies and beans is divine.
