Chronic Constipation + feeling bloated - what do you eat/cook?

[Eagly456]

Dh has chronic constipation + stomach cramps + bloating from IBS-C. Had trouble eating if this is bad. Do you have any ideas/recipes.

Please no wonder foods. They do not work for him.
Thanks.

My DH is the same. He finds that reducing caffeine and wheat helps him and he follows a gluten free diet most of the time....he drinks beer so it’s not entirely GF 🙈 He also finds that things like onions and peppers are a cause of irritation.

I’ll be honest though, he has resigned himself to living with it because he feels like after spending his twenties drinking and taking god knows what these are the side effects.

Beetroot juice works

Bran flakes works for me, theres no stopping them things!:)

Sugar free polo mints...regular mints won’t work but the sugar free ones will clear him out. He must eat the full pack.

I agree with bran flakes or fruit and fibre. Never thought about the mints though, I’ll give those a try thanks.
