When I am feeling constipated, I crave the strangest foods, salt, sugar....etc...Why is that???

same here, when i have my C under control its when i'm eating smart foods (salads, oatmeal, fruits) then when i start the C i just start eating candy, snacks, etc??? who knows?

i do this as well...perhaps its out of the frustration or the hope that something has to make you go. i tend to eat so much more when i'm battling with major constipation.

I used to have this problem too.I'm sure it was out of frustration and also the desire to comfort myself and at least have some pleasure out of food.Of course ultimately I just felt worse.Now I'm on Zelmac I don't get so constipated but I do get very bloated and I have the same problem about turning to food for comfort.Maybe focusing on our behaviour and trying to find different coping mechanisms is the key,but it's hard to do that on your own.
