I saw dietian and she’s put me on a low fibre diet as I’m getting both connstipation and tarry loose stools. Not started it yet as she didn’t have a diet sheet . Waiting on getting it posted out . Also she put me on supplements drinks ensure they are called to build up my weight . Has anyone else used theses drinks and been on this low fibre diet . As I was tool high fibre but just don’t no anymore . And drinks I’m scare everything will constipate me . Just so tired of it now down to 50 kilos from 67 in June . Any advice welcome ☹️

I have had Ensure before, are you on the milk shake type or the energy drink ones? If you make sure you drink at least 2litres of water a day, and remain on a low fibre diet, you shouldn't have to worry too much about constipation. I know when you are suffering from c, it makes you feel slow and lethargic, you can't be bothered with anyone or anything, but this will soon pass once you get c sorted. Keep us posted and let us know how you are getting on with the new diet and the results, or even questions about d, and how do I control d.

Thank you so much . I do feel slow and have brain fog all the time . It’s just panic about taking stuff . But doctor is sending me for a ultersound and referring me back to the consultant . Just would like a normal poo .

Will keep you posted as it helps justto say exactly how you feel ,knowing other people are going through it as well . I’m on the juice ones as I don’t like milk drinks .

I'm the complete opposite, as long as the milk is direct from the fridge (so you can't taste it).
