Epsom Salts?

[Ms1991]

Hello - I was wondering if you could help me!

I suffer from IBS C (constipation). To cut a long story short, 4yrs ago I went to my GP as my constipation had gotten worse. He basically told me about this FODMAP diet, gave me some leaflets and some sites to look at. Initially he said follow it for 3months, then another 3, then another few. Eventually after 1.5yrs on the Fodmap I told him I had enough. I was severely underweight and now terrified of every food.

I’m still horrendously constipated! The only thing that gave me fast relief in the past was drinking Epsom Salts. Unfortunately Superdrug stopped stocking it and I’m a bit wary about ordering it online. I was wondering a) if any of you guys take it ; b) where do you purchase from and c) how does it differ to Andrews salts.

Many thanks
