what "good stuff" is there for constipation?

I know it's a horrible topic but, Normally quite regular but over the last month i've not been properly. Ive tried Ex-lax and califig. I will go to the chemist again but just wondered if anyone could recomend anything.

Warm water with lemon first thing on a morning before anything else

When I was pg I had to eat all-bran for breakfast every day - that did the trick. I used to have it with banana chips to liven it up a bit.

Washed down with a glass of cranberry to keep cystitis at bay(never had it ever since!) that regime kept my lower reaches in perfect order

sesame seeds with the husks on - 2 tlbs in yoghurt twice a day with grit to any sticky pooh - soughted me and my mum out

Lots of water and some exercise.

Or, if all of the above/below fails, Thorntons Diabetic Toffee will really sort you out. Honestly. Just go easy with it and don't eat a whole packet.

eat half a pineapple ,that will sort you out forever. I thought i was ill until i ate pineapple again . It is one of the strongest natural purgatives. It is a gut irritant.

Other than that go to the gp for lactulose,laxoberal,senna,movicol,fybogel, normacol,dulcolax...there are so many.
