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!

KFC. Lie 9n your back and cycle your legs. Grab your knees hug them to your tummy and roll side to side
Glycerin suppositories from boots.
Drink lots of water till your tummy feels like a water bomb.
Dates work quite quickly it don't over do them cos they can be a bit unpredictable.
Do let us know how u go.
All the very best

Gummy bears.

I'll say nothing more.

I agree that there is a difference between food to keep you regular and emergencies.

Spinach, celeriac and raw cabbage are my favourites for regular maintenance, then a good strong coffee and a regular slot with peace and quite for a visit (looks meaningfully at now grown-up DC). An extra helping hand from prunes, dark chocolate and always, lots and lots of water..

For emergencies, for example on holiday, a couple of senna pods in a mug, pour over boiling water. If necessary a packet of those low sugar sweets and do not move too far from the lavatory...

Or go to your nearest TK Maxx, they could put the laxative effects of the place in the marketing (or a warning)

Lots of oranges works for me

I think the consultant gut surgeon is probably the one you should listen to ;)

A stroll round B&M always gets my bowels moving. No idea why it first started but think its conditioned into me now.

MILK CHOCOLATE HOB KNOB BISCUITS

Lots warm water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Don't eat anything for about 30mins. Then make sure your consuming at least two litres of water a day.

Sorry about caps lock

Midwife here. Lactulose and movicol from the top end. Glycerin suppositories from below. Prunes also helpful.

Def porridge for breakfast

I always need to go after a long phone call! No idea why.

Would piles suppositories like Germoloids be OK if BF? I say that, because I think they have a local anesthetic in them which IMO is a must if it's been a few days and more comfortable than plain glycerine suppositories.

Sauerkraut, brussels sprouts, cabbage.
A very hot curry with chickpeas.
Four pints of real ale or farmhouse cider.
Black tea.
Fresh pressed apple juice.

I was told many sugar free sweets contain Sorbitol, which is what supposedly helps.

I second using a low stool to lift your knees, and for amusement just search YouTube for the squatty potty ads.......

If you have any in the house, peppermint tea always does the trick for me good luck!

Prune juice

Movicol (breastfeeding friendly) lots of water and a big long walk!

A tablespoon of linseeds soaked overnight. They'll be gloopy and you just glug it down.
Your poos will slip out like a yard of satin and you will erect a shrine to me.
I wish everyone knew this.

Stress and anxiety? Sorry, not helpful!

Bumsex

McDonalds burger. Works every time.

A whole bottle of red wine.

May not be breastfeeding friendly, but might help somebody else who stumbles across this.
