Constipation

Constipation can be uncomfortable, leading to bloating and feelings of pain and sickness. Almost everyone will experience constipation at some point. Common causes include:

• Not eating enough fruits and vegetables
• A lack of fibre in the diet
• Not drinking enough water
• Inactivity

In fact, many cases of constipation can be helped with a few lifestyle changes, such as going for a walk after eating or having a high fibre cereal for breakfast. However, if these do not work there are many constipation remedies available which can provide gentle relief.

Constipation products

There are many constipation products available if constipation lasts more than a couple of days or lifestyle changes do not help. These include tablets which soften poo, easing bowel movements. Drinkable solutions are available if you can not tolerate tablets.

If you have issues swallowing, or constipation is combined with sickness, suppositories are also available. These are a gentle solution to occasional constipation. If you are experiencing long-term constipation, you should discuss this with your doctor. It may be an effect of a medical condition or medication you are on.
