Constipation

[pusskin]

I am on a downer again today! Fed up with being bloated, not necessarily feeling windy pops.
What do you do to keep your bowels working x (lol)

Is this a decent problem?

Have you previously been normal as far as your bowel habits are concerned?

[Psybbo]

[Sqad]

Gel constipation relief suppositories, literally work like magic. Very reassuring to have to hand.

Hi all. Squad, Constipation comes in fits and starts. ok for a while then whoop, cant go at all and feel so very bloated and v uncomfortabble, drives me crackers. If I changed my routine for any time at all , it all starts up again.
Will try some of what has been recommended by Abers.
I must try and eat more fruit because i'm sure that may help --apples?

Its my Birthday today and i havent eaten half of my dinner lol

[pusskin]

Wow, i feel like a new woman today. I had to rush to the loo this morning, and didnt even take any sennokot last night. Blooming marvelous.

Thanks for all your helpfull replies folks. I feel swinging from the roof tops hahaxx

[anneasquith]

ha ha , the '' joy'' of a good bowel movement :)

[Sqad]

Don't count your chickens..............I assume then, although you didn't answer my question to my liking, that it your problem IS fairly recent in origin....say that last 4-6 months.

My advice.....make a routine appt with your GP....as a Colonoscopy may be necessary.

Pusskin, unless you need to see your GP because this is a recent change (as sqad suggests), I have a pear any time I'm constipated. Pears work for me every time.

So sorry for delay in replying. My other half dragged me out for the day seeing as I was in such a good mood. (Epping Forest)
Sorry Squad, you asked if it was a recent thing. Well --yrs ago I was even worse but trained myself to go regular.
This is recent and have wondered if all is well inside , as this bloating etc is horrible and if it carries on, will go to see doc.
I can feel really full up after eating a very small amount. (No appetite)

[pusskin]

Boxtops, pears and apples dont seem to work for me.
Saying that, I should try more prunes, they are dynamite if I can face eating them .
