[littlelindy]

also do you think the 1lb gain is due to the toilet issue..?

i've heard movicol mentioned on here
in the longer term some people get fibre supplements from their cdc's or psyllium husk powder / colon care from holland and barrett's

Movicol is fine
Sennakot is fine
Glycerine Supps are fine (with the above...attack both ends if need be)
Ducolax is a bit strong when on a VLCD, so avoid.

Physillium husks, fibre 89, fibresure and all those types are preventatives, so don't use them if constipated as they can make it worse.

Once you've sorted out the 'blockage', use the PH, fibresure or fibre 89 each day to prevent it happening in the first place

Hope you get some relief shortly! a week is a long time to go (or not to go in this case!)
