I have been diagnosed with IBS. I am very constipated. About every 3 to 4 days I am producing such a large stool that I can't expel it. Sometimes this will take all day keep trying, leaving me completely exhausted and upset. I am taking peppermint tablets and also when this happens Senokot and Dulcoease, with limited success. Has anyone else got this problem and, if so, how do you cope with it?
Hi I too have suffered a lot with constipation, I have found that eating kiwi fruit and
Small oranges have helped me a lot, I only eat 1 of each a day, also at least 3 veg
With my dinner, be careful not too have too much fibre as this will cause upset
Stomach. It may not work for you but try it is better than taking laxatives.
Good luck hope it helps.
Hi, I recommend drinking lots of water. Also drink lime or lemon water first thing in the morning and only use fresh lime/lemon.
Reduce the amount of carbs in your meals and replace them with spinach, cabbage and avocado. By reducing the amount of carbs on your plate and replacing them with vegetables and good fat, you should feel better.
Drink plenty of water please.
Thanks I will try this
