Constant issues with constipation. Nothing wrong that Dr's found medically. Blood work came back negative.

Have to rely on laxatives.

Any suggestions much appreciated!

A couple of suggestions for you: Drink at LEAST 1 full quart of just plain water every day (throughout the day). Before bedtime try taking Psyllium Husks (not the powder) as per instructions on can. I use Prima Herba. Make sure you are eating fruits and veggies... ANYhoo...! :) This is a good start. Good luck and I hope this does the trick for you.

Thank you. Where do I purchase that product? Health food store, pharmacy or on-line? I am in Europe.

Is Prima Herba the brand of PSYLLIUM? There's about 7 or 8 varieties. Which one do I want?

I am sure there are other good brands besides Yerba Prima...I just think its necessary to get the regular psyllium husk and NOT the psyllium husk powder. Some might tell you 'it doesn't make any difference. powder or husk'...but it made a huge difference for me...I am sure you could order it on line...or get it from any health food or vitamin store. Best wishes to you, Szaszvar! I hope you have a good day!

Please check out -I herb.com- for this product. They show 7 or 8 different ingredients. Which one would you choose?

If possible, just 'pure psyllium husk' ... good luck!

Still trying to locate a European source for PSYLLIUM HUSKS.

I live in HUNGARY. TOUGH COUNTRY TO GET ASSISTANCE WITH ANYTHING!

Found this product and more on Amazon BUT, they don't ship to where I reside, HUNGARY!

Right back to square one!

Hi,

Semi raw carrots along each meal and probiotics also help.

Have you tried glycerine suppositories sometimes I need to use them to get things ‘going’. Also milk of magnesia is good, gentle on the stomach but I need to take double the dose.

Yes, have tried suppositories in between laxatives and they do help. Milk of Magnesia cannot be found in Hungary.

Thank you

All replies are very much appreciated. I am just having difficulty in finding stores/drug stores/pharmacies/etc that sell these products.

I live in Budapest, Hungary and there's no GNC type vitamin/nutrition type store here. If they exist, I can't locate!

The product I want, Pyllium Husks are available on Amazon but they don't ship to Hungary. So, I'm back to square one.

I need "HELP!"

Can you get Prune juice or prunes? If you can drink it warm and lots of it. Good luck.

I do understand what you are going through. What about Movical can you get it or Andrews Liver salts ??

Szaszvar75 in reply to Angie11

Peoples's response has been terrific and really appreciated. I don't know what these 2 products are and have decided to try "PSYLLIUM HUSKS TABLETS along with PROBIONIC.

THANK YOU AND EVERYONE WHO OFFERED ASSISTANCE!

Make sure you drink plenty of water with that. It’s a bulking agent needs liquids.

Hope it works for you.

Magnesium supplements. They have a very laxative style effect

All info very good and much appreciated. I'd like to communicate with anyone who lives in HUNGARY as I do. They may be more able to point me in the correct direction to purchase what I need.

I'm a new bee here of 7 months and haven't found my way totally around.

I need a vitamin or nutrition store like "GNC" in the USA.

ANY ADVICE?.

I am in Australia and I buy all of my supplements online through iHerb. It is a USA based company
