Can using women's one a day vitamin pill make u constipated? since i've started using that i've had a problem going to the bathroom

Yes...: Those containing iron are famous for this. Increase fluids and speak with your pcp or gastroenterologist for additional help. If you are not anemic you can first start by choosing a multi-vitamin without iron.
