TMI - Laxatives?

[satya]

Get fybogel from the chemist. It was what they used in my hospital & it sure worked, nice and gently too.

Prune juice darling, just prune juice. It'll work a treat !

Thanks all for your suggestions. PB - I forgot about prunes! Might give that a try first.
Dunno what I'd do without this place.

Snacks- Try drinking pear juice if u like pears.

Lactulose syrup is a gentle, mild but effective laxative to 'help' things along. It is a natural sugar and works by increasing water in the gut. Doesn't rob your body of vitamins like some other laxatives and does not cause cramps. Different brand names like Actilax, Genlac. You can get it from your pharmacy. You can also try microwaved pureed pears. HTH

Thanks girls. I started off with the prunes yesterday and I think that is working for me.
Is juice supposed to be more effective than the fruit itself? I ask because I've been eating pears on my cereal every morning, Bridg - I'd heard they are good and fibrous...
