The same thing happened to him last year on V-diet.
Any help for him will be most appreciated. Bala \

I have put Miralax in my protein shakes and it helps. I also take Colace daily 100mg. Both these are non-prescription. I also take 12g psyllium husks in water daily, drink it real fast. I get the unflavored, but you could get the orange-flavored. However, the first 2 weeks I took the psyllium it caused flatulence; the company (
Yerba Prima ) said it was restoring bacteria in my gut.
The combo of the 3 has really helped my chronic constipation.
I suggest you start with the miralax.
