Hope you are soaking those nuts and seeds!!! Very very important.
Some smooth move tea sounds like it would be a good idea. Not so dramatic as a colonic. If you can't find smooth move then some senna tea. Go slow. Just a little at a time and wait a good long while before more or you might make the opposite problem.
If you have given up coffee in the process of going raw that might be part of the problem. Coffee stimulates the colon and the urinary tract. Your body will need time to adjust.
Bowel movements do change when going raw and how they change will depend on your previous diet and what raw foods you are eating now. That part is normal. But you can't stay constipated and stay healthy.
If you can't find smooth move tea or senna just buy some good old fasioned prunes. Get things moving! Gotta get those toxins out. Btw, just because you had a colonic before doesn't mean you aren't clogged up with toxins again because going raw does release lots and lots of toxins. Since you had a colonic - I would also try supplementing with good bacteria like lactobacillus as colonics can also wash the good stuff away. It takes a very long time to re-establish those good bacteria if you are deficient.
Good Luck,
