Constipation relief?

[TiffanyJaynexo]

Today is not my day.
My nose is running like a tap and I'm constipated like you wouldn't believe.
I'm even getting pains cause I'm dying to go to the toilet
My MIL said to eat fruit, I was about to eat a banana but has anyone got any other advice?

Thanks girls xxx

Prune juice! Just don't over do it as you will be stuck on the loo!

My doctor said bananas can make it worse as the bind your poop making it harder to go xx

A warm bath might help with the pain and encourage your bowels, it always helps lo when he is constipated x

Plenty of water and a bit of a walk to get things moving, usually works for me. I feel for you as I've got it terrible at the moment!

can take lactolose if none of the natural ways work. can by it from the chemist and is safe in pregnancy !! most gp will prescribe it when your pregnant xxxx

Thanks girls.
I didn't eat the fruit, just more or less had dinner and a warm drink (I think a small cup of tea once in a blue moon is alright, I have given up caffeine completely otherwise).

I've been to the loo!!!!
Thank God.

I know I wouldn't be the only one suffering xxx

Well Loctulose didn't work for me though...( So I tried to eat dried apricots, prunes, Yogurt with prunes and drank lots of water.
But what really helped me was glass of water with lemon juice and a spoon of olive oil mixed up together. I know it doesn't sound nice but when you mix it all up it's not that bad as lemon kind of hides the oil flavour.))
