I'd like to buy something for my constipation - but nothing too harsh. I don't go everyday, but that is normal for me. But every now and then I get a bout of constipation where I struggle to go to the toilet for a couple of days. I have tried drinking more fluid, exercising a bit and eating more fruit and veg. I've also tried an ispaghula product, but it hasn't been enough.
Are you taking any other medication, or are there any other symptoms you are worried about?
No, but it really feels uncomfortable now.
You could try DulcoSoft. It's what's known as an osmotic laxative - so it works by increasing the absorption of water into the bowel. That will bulk and soften your poo, so it will be easier to go. You just take it once daily - it's not flavoured and you can put it in any drink of your choice.
And how quickly does it work? I don't want to get caught out!
It can take 2-3 days, so you should be fine. Make sure you drink an extra glass of water.
