Default I am constipated

Alright, finally we are talking about constipation! I thought I must be the only person on a raw food diet that is constipated...and it looks like I could be right! I mentioned it in the original 30 days raw thread that I have been raw for 6 days now and am totally backed up. My diet has been pretty similair to Steve's, high in fruit (probably 8-10 bananas per day as well as lots of other fruit), and lots of veggies (salads and smothies and also some juicing) the only difference I can see is I also include two tablespoons of flaxseed oil and I do have some nuts, not many, usually a few walnuts in my salads and also yesterday started having some sesame seeds and pumpkin seeds in my salads.
Anyway, I am totally constipated and it sucks! I think because of the constipation I haven't really seen any energy increase or felt better than before I went on this diet.
Anyone have any Ideas? Roger? Anyone?

Thanks
Steve
