Ok so this is a bit weird but I have a strange subconscious hang up about being away from home. I really struggle to poo! This is longstanding and I have no idea why or where it comes from.
It usually takes about 4 days if we're away for a longish holiday but over a weekend I just don't feel the need to go, even though I begin to feel quite unwell. It resolves as soon as I'm home so it's clearly psychologically driven
I eat and drink normally (if anything a bit more than normal as we're eating out when away) but have no urge to go. Ultimately I end up with a really unhappy stomach and general sicky feeling.
Is there anything I can take for a gentle laxative effect. I don't want to give myself full on diarrhoea, just something that restores a normal toileting habit
