Just started him on an increased dose of 2.25 today and he's 3 days into his food switch back to chicken.

I know I shouldn't be doing these changes simultaneously but it's getting very difficult to get him to eat salmon and I think it's causing his constipation. The carb difference is 2% less carbs with the chicken and that's the protein he ate his whole life.

Fingers crossed the slightly lower carbs/familiar protein and higher dose will help lower his BG even more and alleviate his constipation

Good luck with the increase, Jess I just noticed you haven't picked a Dosing method to follow

Both will tell you when an increase or decrease is needed, when you decide please add it to your signature and spreadsheet up top

Whoops, thanks for the reminder! I'm going with SLGS for now and may switch to TR once I have more data and know his patterns better

Good luck with the increase for handsome Charlie! Do you already use a probiotic? They will work both ways.

Thank you so much! I do not--any recs?

I just switched to visbiome, per many recommendations here. Before that I used Proviable.

Thanks! It looks like visbiome makes one specifically for constipation now too. Do you think I should wait and see how he does on the chicken and the new dose before adding it? I'm torn because I don't want to change too many things at once
