To ask what I should eat for breakfast to combat constipation?

[Jelliots]

I normally eat Greek yogurt with walnuts and blueberries but I’m thinking too much dairy is probably contributing to my terrible constipation. Any recommendations?

im now in agony from a big purple haemorrhoid so im pretty desperate (hence the AIBU) ill eat anything as i have no appetite so willing to try anything

Prunes are good for constipation, or ask your local pharmacy for a recommendation.

Black coffee

Bran flakes with chopped dates on top usually help me! (you can get them already prepared in packs). Plenty of water, a hot strong coffee?

Pharmacy gave me lactolose which appears to be making things worse 😭

2 bowls of all bran. Breakfast of champions

Marks & Spencer Agen prunes. Firstly, they're delicious and secondly, they have very immediate effects.

Drink a glass of fresh orange juice with the bits in each day. Bran flakes with fruit.

Drink warm water with lemon juice before bed, and half an hour before you eat anything in the morning. I got badly constipated when pregnant and the midwife advised this, and it worked a treat.
For haemorrhoids, ask gp to prescribe Uniroid cream, was only thing which helped for me.

I sympathise with you on the hemorrhoid, I've been contacting my GP as it's been a couple months, they suggested Movicol so I don't have to strain, the pain relief from that alone is magical but they also prescribed uniroid suppositories and cream, may be worth contacting yours xx

You really need to see a doctor as this is not normal.

Prunes bran things like that. oddly enough diet coke does it for me, drink that and I am sure to want the loo shortly after!

You guys must’ve had pretty mild constipation if it could be shifted with 2 glasses lemon water or a black coffee 😂 or an orange juice!

Add in some golden linseed as a topper to your Greek yoghurt

I have been backwards and forwards to doctors, they say it’s my diet which it could well be as like I said I have no appetite so tend to just eat crap 🤦‍♀️
constipation runs in our family on the female side though

Oats contain beta glucan which helps combat constipation (a gastroenterologist told me this when I saw her about my IBS).

Random but tinned pears in juice, drink the juice too. Nice with Greek yoghurt

What oats do you eat? Just normal porridge oats?

MACROGOL. And black coffee.

Yep normal porridge oats.

Add a large glass of prune juice.

I find eating an apple helps. And drink more water.

Chia seeds mixed in with the yogurt.
Maybe start with 1 tablespoon.

Prunes
Bran
Drink lots of water
If you're a drinker a glass or two of red wine sometimes helps.

I've found dried apricots very effective with young children!!

Beta glucan is a kind of fibre and also adds moisture to stools making them softer, and is generally good for gut health. Having a bowl of porridge for breakfast with some mixed seeds and plenty of water would be a great place to start.
