@RobinEllacotStrike is the Chia water working

D Wagamama chicken ramen, (did not finish) one yakitori chicken skewer

One small salt and vinegar Snack a Jacks
Very small portion of apple crumble and custard.

2 teas and lots of water.

@SecondDesk I don't know about "working".
Re constipation I think the most effective food is 2 kiwi fruit a day - one doesn't seem to be as reliable.

I take the chia as its easy, cheap, boosts protein, fiber and omega 3.
But I'm still not pooping as much as I would like to - maybe that is simply the result of eating a lot less food though.

I've also started taking iron supplements which slows things down a bit. I might stop those for a while and see how I get on.

@RobinEllacotStrike I'm on prescribed ferrous sulphate and the constipation is killing me. I drink nearly 3 litres of water per day, I hit 30g fibre most days (according to Nutracheck) and I get plenty of fruit and veg. Psyllium husk worked for a while but the only thing that's worked reliably for me is 1 x Dulcoease stool softener every day. I don't like it, but the usual dose is up to 5 per day so it's a small amount. I'm hoping my next blood test shows better results so I can reduce my FS dose or even stop taking them!

oh that sounds tough!

Food that has worked in the past re being regular are kiwifruit, kefir and Life Changing Loaf of Bread:

I don't usually have issues so I suspect it is the iron supplement - I don't have any major issues but its too low to donate blood so I'm trying to get levels up.
