I am really suffering with constipation - I dont think it helped that I had been on the Cambridge Diet before I found out I was pregnant so my bowel habbits had changed somewhat due to the lack of fibre in my diet....... I am taking lactulose and drinking loads of fruit juice but its still not shifting it properly I have terrible wind too - Lucky DH!!
Has anyone got any advice on what to try next - I am so bloated tonight I look about 7 months pregnant
Don't really have any advice hun but just wanted to say you are not alone! I'm ALWAYS constipated, have been since the beginning, only go maybe once a week and it doesn't matter how much fruit and veg I eat, or how much juice I drink I just cannot go! As long as it isn't painful then I wouldn't worry too much but maybe mention it to your MW
My friend swears by Prune Juice. She says you only need to drink a couple of inches of it and it will do the trick She hates the taste so washes it down with a chunk of chocolate
I was going to post about this on saturday as I was having the same problem, but found that a big 2 course meal yesterday got me going. I presume I was so full (sorry tmi) that my body had no choice.
ohhh...linseed works well! If you have toast in the morning, swap your normal bread for soya & linseed bread (mine is made by Burgen). It tastes yummy and is really good for you.
PS...I dont suggest trying everyone's suggestions at once!
