Laxative

[crosspatch65]

Can anyone recommend a natural laxative other than prunes

[DSJ]

Fybogel. It is natural and recommended by GPs and pharmacists.

Syrup of figs. Good for a cough too..... you daren't cough.

Bean casserole will get you loosened up. Also try some rhubarb.

[Maydup]

Too much ice cream often does the job.

But some better and healthier options are listed here

Lactulose. Draws water into the colon.

good strong black coffee or cider does it for me !

When I was little, my Mum used to give me sulphur tablets........oh, they were deadly!

Opening medicine, she called it. I preferred the chocolate flavoured ones, Ex Lax, I think they were called.
