Hi everyone, constipation happens, especially with us lot! and if you take morphine. I have spoken about this before and the need to read laxative notes to understand ALL the side effects, bloating, water retention etc!

I thought l had solved my particular issue but now just need a bit of team help please.

Can anyone advise as to any NATURAL remedies they are using i.e. fibre, prunes  fruit, sennacot etc. All answers appreciated includng those which will naturally cause me a good belly laugh (whichcould be the answer Rofl).

LOve to all. Adrian

  • Hi Adrian 

    Miserable thing constipation. I take psyllium daily in capsule form and for occasional extra action I can recommend linseeds and drinking Keffir.

    Belly laughing also highly recommended!

  • Thanks Lynsi; l'll certainly look at that. What l want is a natural remedy. A lot of the laxatives rely on retainjng water in the body to assist easinv but of course that causes bloatinv especially the ankles. Linseed and Keffir sounds alright. Once again thanks. If you saw my belly yuo would laugh. It doesn't make me laugh SweatStuck out tongue love Adrian

  • I've found Syrup of Figs works wonders, and mints, peppermint tea, or cordial for trapped wind/bloating.

  • Thanks Ormebeau. The response has very very good. I'm thinking of mixing everything up  drinking it and seeing what happens. Should be pretty spectacular. (Sorry too much info!) RoflRoflRoflRofl

    Love to you and everyone. Adrian

  • Errrrr . . . . . could you manipulate some stress or anxiety somehow?  This can sometimes have the same outcome as a laxative?  

  • Hi there Mmum, well it's 0400 in the morning and l have a smile on my face. I need say no more than, "Phew!!!"

    Thanks everyone, have a great day, l shall. Keep hydrated, keep cool, slap on the factor 50 and wear a hat!

    Love to all. Adrian

  • Hi Suffolkflyer aka Adrian. I am up with the lark too. So  pleased you have sorted the constipation. It makes you so miserable otherwise. We have come away for a few days but i am struggling, can’t walk far so invested in a wheelchair. Got out and about yesterday but just took to bed around 9pm, I was exhausted.  we also bought a new fan for the chalet. Never have too many. Going to take your advice re keep hydrated, keep cool, slap on the factor 50 and wear a hat. Take care and stay safe.

  • Hi Gooner, we usually go to bed at 2100 brs anyway. Nothinv wrong with an early night. Take care my friend. Adrian

  • Hi Adrian

    Have you tried licorice? 

    I scoffed it by the bucket load whilst I was pregnant and after by nephrectomy.

    Not sure if it worked that well though but it tastes nice.
