embarassing problem

[stylinsam]

hi guys i havnt been for a number 2 for 4 days ?? i dont usually suffer with my bowls and ideas how this can be caused!

[redcrx]

dehydration can be a contributing factor as well as general diet.
Try eating sweetcorn as this helps clear through

[crete]

assume you mean bowels, increase fluids eat more fresh fruit and veg could also try porridge or bran added to breakfast cereal

[whiskeysheri]

Not even after your Indian, sweetie? :o)

Good tips from red (hi red!!) and crete though x

[booboopoo]

Try speaking to "Chappers", he seems to be full of s**t.

[spudqueen]

A whole packet of fig biscuits and a lot of water to drink usually works for me.

[redcrx]

hi WS (sorry sam)

honest sweetcorn does work well

[crete]

so chappers is also constipated oh dear

[alijangra]

From reading your other posts about being on a diet, its possible the change in eating habits has contributed to this. A large glass of fresh orange in the morning, plenty fruit, vegetables and fibre, and 2L of fluid a day should get you moving in no time.

Ho hum!!! xxxx

[crete]

how is anyone able to read another users posts no im not joking just a bit thick

[ChuffingHell]

a bag of grapes should resolve the issue.

[alijangra]

Sorry I dont understand the confusion, but to clarify, what I meant was Sam has mentioned several times recently about watching the calories. A change in diet can affect the bowels.

If only we had a world wide web to find some info........

http://www.constipationadvice.co.uk/

[alijangra]

Yes the web is great, but I dont think a website trying to push its own brand of laxative is particularly helpful. I would imagine that a few minor diet chages will be sufficient to alleviate constipation in a healthy 21 year old. Just my opinion.

[Amara]

Sam - Please try some of the suggestions I gave you, they really will help to speed up your metabolism and ease the constipation, which is a miserable ailment and will not do you much good. Water is especially important. Take care Amara xx

alijangra, if you take a look at the website there is a link at the top called..... 'causes' .

If Sam wishes to know of the types of things that can cause this (I think that is what the question says), as it provides some insight for a potential answer to the question, then I should think it is very helpful indeed.

[stylinsam]

sorry octavius what exactly is your problem every question i post you have to have a dig, i appreciate that there is a web but this is a question and answer site and i asked a question, which was genuine!, i did look on the web before i posted this question and i couldnt find anything that helped me!,

As whiskey says - im surprised the curry doesnt help ya out.

Well aupposedly 24 hours to digest..... so tonight you should be fine... tomorrow u might have quite the opposite ;O)

[Octavius]

I'm sorry for trying to answer your question on the causes of constapation stylinsam, or indeed any of the questions you have asked and I have provided an answer.

I will try to avoid answering your questions in the future.

Hi sammy,

Glycerin Suppositories will shift whatever is lurking in your bowels...then just continue with advice already given...plenty of liquids, WATER (not alcohol sammy), and plenty of fibre, cos you know don't you? Theyre tasty, tasty very very tasty!! Lol ;o)
