Hi,
If the drink causes the constipation then better to stop it, certain food could cause the constipation, the millet contains very low amount of gluten and that may not cause constipation, but the cause of constipation could be low water intake, although millet is good source of fiber in my opinion you could continue the drink it is healthy again I would say that if this causes the constipation or create the doubt then you can stop this.
Hope this information helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
