constipation

[Tramezzini]

hey!

How do you deal with constipation?

I have tried Prunes, Pears, Green smoothies

Nothing works for me

I am still getting constipated from food and Urso!

thanks

I feel your pain ! I take Inulin in a drink ( available in health stores ) it's worked for me over the last 3 years

make sure you are well hydrated - drink a few pints of water that should keep your stools good and soft

Laxido and Fybogel have both been recommended to me in the past. Nowadays I have a very high fibre diet which means I have not needed to take either of these remedies lately.

Fiber constipates me and more and I drink lots of water.

My hepatologist recommended Miralax or another polyethylene glycol. Says you can take it daily without interference with medications. Hope you get some relief.

Hi Ivanik,

I too experienced constipation on starting Urso. My pharmacist recommended Fybogel which is a mainly natural remedy. He also suggested putting my feet on a small step when using the toilet to aid things. Both helped. I also made changes to my diet cutting out most processed foods, changing to brown rice, pasta, bread and increasing pulses, fresh fruit and veg etc. I no longer need the Fybogel but I still have the step (also now used by my toddler grandchildren - win win 😊).

Best of luck, Cx

Hi Ivanik,

Inulin, slippery elm and a supplement called PaleoFibre are part of my daily supplements and my digestive system is working perfectly now with no constipation. I eat healthy whole foods too and have almost no processed foods.
