Bunged Up

[albaqwerty]

no, not nasal, down there. I feel slightly constipated. Not in pain but I feel that I'm not getting rid of enough when I go.

Nothing dietary has changed. Apologies for the grossness of this question.

Don't particularly want to take any laxatives, it's been like this for 48 hours.
Any ideas to help please?
Many thanks.

If you were a mathematician you could work it out with a pencil :-)

Hope you get unbunged soon Alba!

I think Tom Lehrer did a song about him. It might be on Youtube.

I had this problem a few weeks ago. For six months now I have been on a healthy diet, more fruit and veg and no takeaways or fatty foods. So I felt I was lacking in oily stuff, as I rarely get bunged up.

I started to take 1000mg of flaxseed oil daily in capsule form, and it has helped a great deal.


Much better than laxatives!

Thanks Ice. I'll bear that in mind for the future (as I will for most of the other replies!!)

Had Home-made cheeseburgers and chips for dinner, I am feeling much lighter :)

Now have heartburn :( Oh the joys, the joys...
