Constipation

16to10

Now Maintaining :)
I'm feeling a little constipated. Could you recommend me something for it please? I would prefer it if it's something I can buy from the local chemist or supermarket.
 
Thank you for the suggestions. I will get some senakot tomorrow.
 
Hiya, I had the same problem a few days ago :eek:. Took 2 sennacot and they really did the trick. Not taking anymore chances, so I have some Cambridge Fibre now too. Not had probs since. Good luck! :)
 
Not really supposed to, but I had awful problems to start with, then started to eat half a pot of Activia a day and that works wonders and doesnt kick me out of ketosis
 
I take a fibre supplement everyday and its working brilliently, I have suffered on this diet in the past and am not taking any chances
 
Hi, i suffered really badly with this and read previous posts which recommended Movical, i bought some from the supermarket pharmacy and my goodness they work a treat :D (thee only time in my life me thinks when i can compliment on a public forum, bowel stuff!!). I thought senakot would bring me out of ketosis but have since read that is equally as effective.

Thanks for the replies all. Got some senakot today, hopefully it'll do the trick. :eek:
 
I got very bunged up before and took ducolax which is foul!

I now start my day with a strong coffee mixed with a bit of banana or vanilla shake a splenda tablet and two teaspoons of physillium husks, followed by a cup of herbal tea. The coffee stimulates the bowel and the husks swell to form a gel, that not only makes me fill full but also has meant I have Had 'a movement' everyday for 3 weeks. I also make sure that at least 2 of my drinks during the day have husks in. I even quite like them in the soups as it reallythickens them. The husks also help reduce cholesterol and balance blood sugars, so that can't be a bad thing

Last time I didn't go for nearly 2 weeks and felt really bad.

What is husks ?

they are a fibre supplement and stool softener which helps to counteract the effects of this diet, I have been using psyllium husk capsules and they work a treat
 
You can get psyllium in 500g bags from health food shops
