I have been taken a lot of pain killers for my back over the past few weeks and it has made me bunged up :( I feel fat and bloated but don't want to take any medication to make me go ( would rather do it through diet ), have tried eating rhubarb ( as it usually works ) but it didn't work, what else can I try. What makes you go?

Using a hula hoop. I think it's the gyrations!
A brisk walk.
Psyllium husks in an apple juice. One spoon should do the trick..
Lemon juice with hot water drunk first before shower in the AM..

And if all that fails, a strong coffee, on an empty stomach.

Call - 2 doses of picolax did nothing?! They must have been tempted to write a paper on you!

I second prunes and plenty of water. I will never forget the time I got a bit carried away eating a bag of prunes, the next morning, I felt like I'd lost half my organs.

Grapefruit juice. I have a glass every morning to keep me regular

This might interest you: I was googling prunes and discovered that in their fresh state, they are called 'plums'.

I did not know this Blush

Always go for a mahoosive poop after I've had sweet potatoe or butternut squash

Prune juice works amazing apparently although I haven't actually tried because I'm too scared it will taste too blurghhhh!

Peanuts get me going. A packet of salted peanuts and a pint of Guinness is positively medicinal for me Grin
