I think you'll find that can be one of the side effects. I bought a bottle of Lactulose, read through the leaflet and decided I didn't want it so as it was sealed Boots refunded my money as I suffer with Emetophobia and nausea/sickness was one of the possible side effects.

When I am constipated I use about a rounded dessertspoonful of Linseeds in around a 3rd of a mug of water, soak for an hour and drink (you can grind down the Linseeds and then soak them). This works a treat for me and is much better than taking medicine.

Hope this works for you but it's certainly worth a try.

You are welcome and the Linseed I have been taking is the Golden Linseed from Holland & Barret, it hasn't yet given me any diarrhea. It doesn't work for everyone but I have seen on here that there are more people it works for than not.

Very best of luck Colin

Alicia. I have got some linseed, when I read your instruction do you have to swallow the linseed seed or just the water

Colin

Hi there Colin, you swallow the water and the Linseed.

Very best of luck, it works for me so I'm keeping my fingers crossed it also works for you
