Mild constipation and wind

In the evenings have excessive wind but I feel it’s due to mild constipation and not completely emptying bowels in morning. Just wondered if anyone can recommend anything that has helped?!

Tinned prunes, have 8 today and every day until you’re regular, then drop it to about 4 a day. Plus increase your fluids.

Prune juice for me, a pint of that over a couple of hours and I’m off.

I’ve had a sleepless night due to constipation (I have to take a lot of opiate painkillers) and my body decided at about 11:35pm that it was going to start working, many times.

What a night!! 😫 My poor backside is a little tender to say the least and I’m knackered, but at least I’m empty.
