Good morning to all.
I apologise for the topic....I am 26 weeks and starting 7th month.
My constipation is getting worse and worse.
The only thing that helps me is taking half teaspoon of tamarind jam in the evening. I took it from Italy but now I have just realised I am towards the end of it and I am trying to find out where can I find and buy it here in UK.
I live in St albans. Does anyone know where can I find it?
Thank you in advance

There is an Italian deli off Victoria St that might be able to help (or there was when I lived in St Albans late last year). Also try the Asian grocery shops on the Hatfield Road (station end) as tamarind seems to be a popular ingredient in South Asian cooking. The Tesco Express there also has a wider range of Asian ingredients.

Thank you for your advices. So it seems to me it is not considered a product to be sold in a chemistry here in UK, do I understand right? I bought the jam in chemistry when I was back in Italy as it is considered as a lassative... How funny!

I don't think it's mainstream; I've never seen it...you should be able to get hold of it somewhere though
