Constipation confusion (*poo details*). Help!

The doctor said I felt a bit constipated and gave Laxido a couple of weeks ago, which I took as I hadn't gone in a couple of days (unusual for me, usually every morning).

I took this and my poo got really soft and daily again. I took it for about 4 days and then stopped. Since then, I haven't had a poo for days again!

Is this normal? I'm freaking myself out.

I drink a lot, eat live yoghurt, seeds and fruit a lot, exercise every single day and I've never actually had constipation before in my life.
I've been really stressed and not sure if that's what's causing it.

Can you keep taking it?

Do you eat dried apricots or prunes every day? Maybe increase the liquids because it's warm at the moment.

@TigerOnTour I suppose, I just thought you were supposed to take it until poo was soft and then it should be sorted? How long do people usually take it? Confused

No I'll try the dried fruit - is that better than normal?
