Can't go, won't go :-( *cringe*

[pilkers]

right so I'm officially constipated

I have no idea why really cos I'm eating tons of fruit, well over 5 portions a day. I eat salads and veg all the time. I have fibre in my cereal everyday and I drink water.

I obey the urge to go when it comes but as soon as my cheeks touch the seat nothing happens

What can I do?!

my doc prescribed lactalose for me in my last preg.

Its a natural thing to make you go and you can basically regulate the dose yourself.

She also said to avoid bananas as they bung you up bigtime

i've had days like these it just horrible, now for some reason my bums sore think i might have the start f the dreaded piles

hope it eases soon 4 u hun

Buy some Senokot Hi Fibre orange sachets. 2 of them a day should def work! They are absolutely fine in pregnancy too - recommended in fact!

Hi from a fellow constipation sufferer. I'm on the lactulose too and its a pain in the *** literally. Maybe I'm on too high a dose lol but my OH keeps complaining about the rate we are getting thru toilet paper in this house. sorry TMI.

drop a dose/spoonful a day and see if that helps. Thats what my doc says you find your own level of how much you need to take.
