Constipation Caused From Sleep Deprivation - Help!
-
I noticed after 4months of sleep deprivation, due to having twin babies being born, that I have become constipated (It has been 8months now, have been sleeping normally for the past 4months now, and I'm the father, not mother btw). I have been taking Cascara Sagrada for the last 6months and the effects seem to be wearing off, I dont go as often and smooth as I used to.
My diet seems good, low pufa, lots of milk, coffee, beef, eggs, sourdough, cheddar, gelatin, coconut oil and butter, potatoes, mushrooms etc... and supplement Magnesium, aspirin, cascara, k2/d3, and T3.
I'm not sure what to do to fix this, maybe carrot salad? (although I hate it). I have a b-complex and thiamine, I was reading b1 may help.Does anyone know a remedy for sleep deprivation caused constipation?
Thank you and God bless.

@Turk I would try your best to fix the sleep issue first. Get red light in the morning and before bed. Full spectrum sunlight throughout the day with little screen time. Grounding, magnesium, glycine. Maybe try having a sweet and salty snack before bed like dates w/ salted butter or honey w/ salty cheese.

@Serotoninskeptic I also want to note that my sleep has been normal for 4months now, 10:30pm bed and awake 6:15am, and sleep in on weekends to 9am to recover from the sleep deprivation.

@Turk Ah i see. Do you eat a lot of starch?
-
@Serotoninskeptic Yes, but I always have. Most of the time I have sourdough for breakfast, boiled potatoes for lunch/dinner, and occasionally pasta.

@Turk Hm i guess you could try raw carrots or activated charcoal
