Hi there,
I've got so many great ideas and advice from this board over the last week that I thought I would see if anyone could advise me about constipation! I've always had a bit of a problem with this anyway and I had been warned that this could get worse with CD. I'm now on Day 5 and still haven't 'been' and wasn't sure what the best course of action was. I have some laxatives at home which I could use, but I don't want to have to use these regularly.
Someone mentioned psyllium husk capsules - does anyone know if these work and where I can get them from? And, how quickly do they work - if I bought some tomorrow would I get instant results (sorry for tmi!).
I thought perhaps a laxative tonight and then get some psyllium husk for ongoing day-to-day relief.
I'm not in a great deal of discomfort but do feel a bit heavy and don't want this to affect my first weigh-in on Monday!
Thank you!
Kathy
