AIBU to ask for your best constipation cures?

[sureitsgrand]

I know It's not an AIBU, but, traffic and urgency....I'm in need! Anyone got any top mn quick cure for constipation that I've missed? Can't take laxatives as am bfing, so hit me with best natural remedies. No prunes in the house and can't get to a shop till this evening. Thanks in advance!

Strong coffee
Fruit
More coffee

Magnesium

Homemade lentil and veg soup.
Homemade apple sauce.
An espresso.
Eat the above then wait.

Voilà.

Fiber, water, warm drinks, prop up your feet on a bun in front of you, privacy and time.

Lots of kiwi fruit
Dried apricots
Lots and lots of water

Glycerin suppositories.

Work like a charm for me, not sure if they’re BF compatible though!

Prunes and exercise

liquorice, but don't eat too much.
Can deplete levels of potassium.

Ok about to get my second coffee. Fruit wise I have pears, tangerines and just ate a load of raisins. Keep them coming- it's been days....

Prune juice. Seriously works like a charm

Pints of water/squash

Dulcolax

Have a McDonald's. A friend told me to do this and it worked!

a vegan diet, anything with chick peas/lentils

Magnesium

Magnesium? In what form? Where does one buy it I've only ever used it in spray form for pain relief I think.

Dried fruit & lots of water. Especially effective are apples, figs, prunes, raisins. I also find beansprouts, & any raw or lightly cooked veg to be good. So a stir-fry of lots of veg, with a little brown rice for dinner could be good.

A browse in a bookshop or library. Seriously.

Prune Juice, Magnesium tablets (sold with vitamins/food suppléments) or Turmeric (available in table form - might be Under the name curcuma)

Magnesium oxide. It's the cheapest form but causes the runs & gas for ages - months - until the body gets used to it. I take it for migraines. Can buy from Bodycare, H&B, Boots etc.

I use this one, keeps me regular. If I run out, within days I'm constipated. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00JUZA9TS/ref=cm_sw_r_oth_api_L2YtBb5MVTHPN?tag=mumsnetforum-21

Prune juice works for me.
Inulin powder
There's an OTC syrup fructose/glucose/something-ose...lactulose, is that it?

I agree with rivertam, libraries are excellent for encouraging bowel movements

You can take lacyilose while breastfeeding, can't you? I was prescribed it when bf so I assume so unless something has changed. It works well as it softens everything, rather than causing cramps and explosions like many other laxatives do.

Also prunes, coffee, orange juice and LOTS of water.

That should say Lactulose!

Oooh, a good one, pineapple. Try and eat a full one. You'll be shitting through the eye of a needle.
