Being bunged up is the worst....sorry.
The thing that I have found really good are linseeds (golden if poss but ordinary do fine) - you can get them from holland and b or a lot of supermarkets these days. They are small little seeds-you soak them in water for at least 1/2 an hour - overnight is fine - they become really f
gloopy and you swallow a desert spoon or so without chewing and them chug some water- have a few times a day and they work an absolute treat. They take a bit of getting used to but it is well worth it. You can also regularly have a spoonful a day to avoid the prob in the first place.....I always intend to do that and then remember when it's too late...doooh!!

im using this to keep it away and laxative every weeked for a boost.
ive been doing a poo everyday now toots, and will have a few of my exante tomorrow. hoping it will not bung me up badly again.x
Oooh - think I have used these before on a detox diet - can you have them on a VLCD? Would be interesting!! Ta

Good luck for tomorrow - hope you stay......erm........loose

So so yummy - the banana not the dulcolax
Normally dulcolax sorts the problem big style (bunged up on Exante but not CD usually) - but this time - nada????
Do you take more than 2?xxx

I have used the linseeds on vlcd and atkins no prob. TMI - they come out the other side whole so there should be no probs -Iit is the gloopiness that helps thing along so to speak. They are also great as they are non-explosive (for want of a better expression) as some of the other over the counter laxatives can be!!!

Should do. I know sainsburys and waitrose have them. Try the "free from" or health food sections and don't give up if you ask an assistant and they say "linwhat....nah we don't have those" - has happened to me!

Just trying to catch up with the posts haha
Lasagna sandwich... i wonder how i got to 16 stone... haha carb me up baby!!
Im considering trying something to help some "movement" i might do it the day before weigh in, I find if I add loads of pepper to my soups it can sometimes help! But when it doesnt work I do start feeling a bit crappy (no pun intended haha) after a few days.
