You can try eating prunes and figs also u can buy prune n fig syrup which will help regulate.

Hi hmb1. Oh dear – not nice! Make sure you drink plenty of water. You could try drinking some “Fybogel” which should help with the constipation and also preventing it, and is harmless. Hope you soon fell more comfortable. Diane

Hi hmb1. Lactulose would be kinder. Dulcolax can be a bit severe. Otherwise see what your GP recommends. Diane
