Zinc cause constipation?

[RhiannonW]

Does anyone know if taking too much zinc causes constipation?

Thanks.

I'm not sure about constipation, but I recall that when I was taking it it made me terribly nauseous.

Nausea is a side affect. I don't think from what I read that it causes constipation. Other things can though. Calcium for one.( My doctor had me increase magnesium because of this) If you are taking aspirin more than usual it can also cause constipation. Maybe it is something different in your diet. Not sure if I am being much help here.
