Eat some fruit. Prunes should do the job (no pun intended). :whistles:

Make sure you are drinking enough water!
I have horrible issues with constipation and know exactly what you mean about the bloating!
It's so uncomfortable!!!
I take GasX and that helps with the trapped wind.
Also Milk of Magnesia will help you go if you are constipated.

Boiled water helps a treat - a couple of glasses first thing in the morning, every morning should help keep you regular!

Regular eating patterns help too - feast or famine style of eating can result in too few trips to the loo or too many!!

Try and eat some fruit and drink plenty of water today and see if you can ease the problem. Oh and I always find a good dose of Andrews Liver Salts sets me on the right path if feeling a little bunged up shall we say.

Hope you feel better tday.

Also, as some of the others have already said, you've got to stop just eating carbs. Without the right sort of fibre in your diet, you'll get constipated very quickly. It might also be useful to try something with a gentle laxative action, like Fybogel.

Fibre, most definately, and water . Can you drink smoothies Honeyp1ie ? I have a small concentrated one each day in the 40g tubes, they help too.

I've been feeling abdominal pain and bloatedness for the few days so I went to the Minor Ailment Clinic at my local pharmacy and got some lactulose medicine. It is a gentle treatment but it works for me. It's not like some of the laxatives that wake you up in the middle of the night with stomach cramps and then give you diarrohea! My meds make me constipated. But my diet's crap too and I need to exercise more, which I intend to rectify!

I sympathise with you though, it's a horrible, uncomfortable feeling.

Seek medical advice if it continues, you don't want to leave it for too long.

Best Wishes. x
