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 

  • Dates, prunes, coffee and lots of water

  • 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!
