Constipation

[Nerissa]

Hi I did post awhile back about constipation, I was trying the magnesium. It worked but had to stop as got terrible stomach cramps. Tried fruit and can't eat much fibre. Any suggestions. Thanks in advance

I cannot eat much fibre as spasms intensify but a littl regular compote of prunes or fig with porridgean yog works keeping portions small

If you drink plenty of water in the day,have some prune juice before bed and a strong black coffee in the morning it should work!.

I've suffered with constipation all my life and have tried all sorts of things.

Also have you tried doing the I Love You massage?

Hi Nerissa - try tea that has senna in it. Holland and Barrett have something called BOOTEA which helps me very well.

Hi nerisssa

Try NORMACOL ( on prescription) It works for me+ Lots of water at least 3 PINTS Per day, Includes teas. no more piles unless i use amytripline.

Walking and some yoga (try it on floor one leg over the other and twist to look behind you. do this each way 3 times.twice a day if you can.

Had a bad day with cramps yesterday .ok now

hope you find this helpful
