A member asked:
Do the grapefruit diet make you constipated and is there a vitamin i can take to help with constipation while on the diet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can if you: Are not drinking enough fluids meaning at least 80-100 ounces caffeine free/alcohol free fluid daily. Also grapefruit has a chemical that interferes with many different meds affecting their potency. If you are on any meds check to make sure their absorption is not affected by grapefruit ingestion.
