Suffered from day one with constipation tried three different laxatives. Try to eat fibre and drink water walking a bit difficult as I’m on EC atm and as feeling breathless and dizzy , I take thyroxine any help please
I thought I had replied! I wrote a whole thing but in summary, lactulose and senna worked a treat.
my consultant also recommended melon.
I have prunes in my morning smoothies too!
Also have a look at yoga poses for constipation if you can’t get out for walks. They’re usually lying or sitting so easy when you have low energy!
