  • Drink plenty of water and ask your doctor for some safe laxatives. I used coloxyl


  • Plenty of water and exercise, plenty of natural fiber in your diet (fruit, veggies, seeds), discontinue processed foods (like white bread and the like), add ground linseed & sesame seed to your breakfast, senna tea can be helpful too and when you’ve no result on that you could use a product like Osmolax


  • Use 2 to 3 drops of almond oil in a glass of milk its really works


  • Slippery elm tablets. Use cinnamon where you can. Drink lots, plenty of fruit.


  • Lots of pears, prunes and dates, lots of water. Add fiber to your food (the type you buy at the chemist)


  • Dried apricot were my best friend :)


  • Dried apricots and apples


  • Natural senna, worked for me..lots of water too.


  • A high fibre diet..lots of leafy greens.


  • Lots of water!


  • Taking inner health plus helped my gut heaps.


  • I hope it all worked out, I belive a natural fibre can help


  • I had to drink prune juice, and yes you do get used to the taste eventually


  • If you don’t mind the taste of dried fruit, Nulax works a treat as it’s all natural. But don’t eat more than a walnut-size piece of it, or you could be glued to the loo.


  • i guess you have had your baby now . how did you go ..
