Change In Bowel Movements On Taking Asset Diet Pills. How Can I Get Back On Track?

I have a change in bowel movement for about three weeks after taking Asset diet pills . Small round balls, hard to eliminate. What can I do to get back into a regular routine? I have been eating cereal for breakfast the last week to no avail. I do not want to use anything harsh as I work full time and can t be home to address the issues! Thank you.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

In addition to the use of whole grain cereal, you would need to also increase your use of fruits and vegetables throughout the day.
Generally it is recommended that a person use at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day, this means with your main meals and your snacks.

This increased fiber intake should help with the constipation. The use of at least 8 glasses of water may also be helpful.

If the increased fiber and fluid intake is not effective then you may want to consult your doctor to ensure that there are no other issues causing your symptoms.

I hope this helps
