Well, there's a few reasons together!.
First and foremost, Activia doesn't have a huge potency of probiotics!. It has enough to give a basic boost of probiotics (like to recover from taking antibiotics or to have a boost for regularity, for example)!.!.!. but not a huge amount!.
Also, you've been taking them for about 3 weeks, so that's about right!.
Simply put, you've gotten the benefits from it and your body has adjusted to the slightly increased level of probiotics!. If you took a supplement of probiotics (something that would have a good variety of strains and a few billion viable organisms), you'll probably feel about the same way you did a week or two ago!.
Activia is just an extra little something, it's not a full probiotic regiment!.
All that being said, if you're constipated on a normal basis, I'd keep up with a good probiotic (Activia would be good enough for the basics, like I said, so that'll cover you), drink plenty of water, and eat a good amount of fiber daily (chips, crackers, cookies, cereal, pasta, etc!.!.!. it doesn't have to be any of the really bland stuff)!.
Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Did you eat a lot of red meat and/or cheese at a meal recently!? Red meat and/or cheese can be very uh, shall we say "binding" for some people, and consequently, very hard to pass, especially if they don't eat it all that regularly!. Some things that will help w/ constipation are: drinking lots of water, drinking coffee, exercising and making sure you do lots of walking, eating lots of fruit and vegetables, a couple tablespoonsful of warmed barley malt extract (This is sold as Malt Soupex and given to geriatric patients in hospitals and nursing homes for the same reasons you've mentioned!. Buy it at the healthfood store, not the pharmacy, tho'!. It'll be much, much cheaper!.), get a massage and have the therapist work your belly, making sure to go only in a clockwise direction, eating applesauce, dried fruits, warmed pear sauce, green (Granny Smith) apples can all help w/ constipation!. I completely agree with what Oldtimekid is saying, too!. He's usually spot in in his words of advice!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You can get probiotics in capsules!.
Yogurt in general helps with digestion because of the good bacteria in it!.
Activia has fructose corn syrup!.
