My daughters a nutritionist and she advised me to ditch the laxatives. I now get on her advice….GROUND FLAXSEEDS. I put three dessert spoons full into 3/4 pint of HOT water, whirl it around then let it stand for 2-3 hours before drinking. (Tastes a lot like wheatabix so not a bad taste either,). Take each day and you’ll soon be ok again. Must be GROUND… Good luck.

I use ground flax seeds in yogurt. Usually works fine. This episode a bit stubborn.

If you are taking prescribed medication, perhaps check with your doctor before introducing any new supplements or medications beforehand.
