Ideas needed

[rosejohnson]

I am looking for ideas for foods to help with constipation.

I am *trying* to eat a high fibre diet, but that's not easy!

So any vegetarian ideas or recipes for helping with constipation?

I still haven't lost any weight (4 weeks now) and thought this might help too

Thanks xx

Nothing helps my constipation 12 months down the line (never suffered with it before my op) I just take movicol to help now

Hi Rose,

Not really diet help, but have you tried benfibre or fibresure. Its a tasteless powder that you take in a drink. I havent suffered with constipation myself, but I know a few that have and they swear by it. Its very hard to get in enough bulk to our diets when we can eat so little.

Yes Rose I back Sam's recommendation of Benifibre - i recommended it to a friend (not a bypass patient) for her constipation problems and since she's been using it she is a lot better.

Sending hugs with fairy dust xx

plenty of fluids is all I can suggest.
a Pint of warm water a couple of times a day x
