I have used psyllium husks (holland & barrett) since week 2 and have had no problems since. Week 1 was painful!

Hi

Make sure you drink enough water. If I dont have enough water than I know about it.

Have not used anything to help other than the water.

Good luck

I use the psyllium husks flakes from healthspan.co.uk , add a large teaspoon in my porridge make the porridge quite sloppy and then stir in the husks.

the tablet form never worked with me.

I would also recommend the choc mint bars which seem to get things moving!

I also suffer terrible with constipation and found that dulcolax was the only thing that worked. Rather than taking 2 at a time i found that having 1 tablet every couple days made it more bearable. I dont know if u have used these but when you have 2 you really know about it. The stomach cramps are awful.
