Can Glucosamine Sulfate cause constipation?


On 2008-1-13, from morning to afternoon, I could feel “something” just inside the anus, but we I tried to pass motion, nothing could come out.

Am I having constipation? Just look at the following records of my “performance”:

Legends: B = Big, S = Small, M = Medium, SM = Small to Medium, MB = Medium to Big, VS = Very Small, NIL = No bowel movement

Does my bowel movement figures in the last 13 days have anything to do with Glucosamine Sulfate Complex 100 of which I started to take two capsules daily from 4 January 2008?

At last, at 2215 hr on 080113, I passed motion. 1 x Medium to Big (2215 hr. 3 x Banana-shaped stools with one longer one. Brown. Sunk.)

I should monitor the situation and do some research on this “Glucosamine Sulfate vs. Constipation” matter!
