Toilet trouble

Hi sorry for post. I got bad constipation. Anyone else?? Any tips x

I am on a merilax regimen. A capful twice a day should regulate you. I put it in my coffee twice a day. Once in the morning and then one with my dinner.

I buy Inulin powder from Holland & Barrett , easy to take and has sorted the problem out for me .

I have 1 laxido sachet first thing every morning as prescribed by my specialist as a maintenance dose but it can be taken in larger quantities for problems. I would check with your doctor first.

Hi lagathavikings

I have suffered with constipation for years (convinced its urso) and have been prescribed all the usual remedies (movecol, laxido, etc) by GP and consultant. I have also taken sennacot and various herbal remedies but was completely at a loss. I never found any consistent relief and they would usually stop working. Last year I saw a urogynae physiotherapist (unrelated) and by chance told her about the issues I was having. She understood completely and immediately advised 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed daily. Honestly, it’s been like night and day for me. I sprinkle it on my breakfast and lunch or evening meal, hardly notice it, and now go daily. I don’t get any of the awful side-effects of laxatives, like stomach cramps, diarrhoea etc either. Its the only thing that helped and continues to help me. Worth a try xx
