If you drink some prune juice it may help you to go to the toilet. Also, eat bran flakes and wheetabix. The fibre in them will clean your system out.

Go to the toilet the same time every day even if you don't go.


Your bowel will get use to it and you will start going. I have been going at 7am every morning for over 25yrs (yes I know how sad:blush:)


It does work.

Don't take laxatives your bowel becomes lazy.

Thanks for all of your advice.
I don't normally even think about taking tablets, but after feeling so bloated and getting stressed about not having been for a few days, I had no alternative. (That coupled with the fact nobody on the site posted a reply on another question I had placed)
I have been today now, and stress level has gone down now. I will try each and every suggestion from now on!
Many thanks
