Constipation remides ?

[Amy207]

I’ve been suffering quite bad with my bowels doctor gave me some liquid laxative which used to help but now it doesn’t so I upped my fruit and veg in take I drink plenty of water but nothing seems to be helping, my mum said prunes but my stomach will disagree and will end up being sick, any one else know of anything that’s helped them??

Thanks

keep the fluids up, Orange juice is supposed to help. are you having whole prunes or juice? try juice if possible

When I suffered with it I was told by Midwife to not eat bananas as they make it worse she also told me to have lactulose and weetabix that helped me xx

exercise is the thing that helped me most...cycling or a gentle jog x

I know you said you can't have prune juice but that honestly works. Maybe try it with ice or a tiny bit of cranberry juice to ease the taste

If not drink loads and I mean loads and loads of water until you can go. That will definitely soften your stools and help move things along. The last time I had it I couldn't get prune juice and I spent a day and a half drinking water constantly. It will absolutely work.

Same with Holli, lactulose does work, I usd to give it when I worked as a support worker. It can take a while to work though and you stil need to drink water with it. It works by drawing water into your stools so if you can't get it, drinking lots of water yourself will work too. Xx
