Best laxatives...?

[ceejay]

Hi all
I was sleeved 4 weeks ago, and suffering terrible constipation, something I've never experienced before. I drink freshly squeezed oj every morning, have as much fruit/veg as I can, and drink at least 1 litre of fluids a day. I also take 2 Senna each night, but this just seems to give me wind.... (sorry!) I just wondered if anyone has tried something a bit different, that works.
Thanks.

Hi Ceejay, get your gp to prescribe you some lactulose. Apparently senna only works by moving things along but lactulose will soften it all up for you and it's gentle.

You can get lactulose over the counter from boots cheaper than on prescription. Sickly sweet, but it definitely works

All good advice. I find glycerine suppositories best for me. My team recommended them to me. Always work within 15 minutes so don't venture out LOL

You could also try prune juice, if you want something a little more natural.
