Will eating pure protein bars constipate a person?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Constipation: Constipation is a common side effect of a high protein diet ... That's why, like most things in life, moderation is key. As well, you should be increasing your fiber intake to match the demand from the added protein. Hope that helps!
