Constipation remedy

[Grace]

I know a few people have been really sufferring with this recently.
I've begun drinking 0% fat Actimel yoghurt drinks (also very low in sugar) and they are really helping me. I haven't needed to take a senekot tablet for a week.

I just thought I'd pass the tip on as it may be helpful to those of you struggling.

Yoghurt is suggested by my hospital but I hate it lol doh!

The Actimel drinks are only 100mls or thereabouts. 3 gulps and they're gone!

oh charis, funny you should mention them, i bought some last week, the strawberry ones, they were the lowest sugar ones i could find, and ive been ok this week, i hadnt made the connection, but its got to be them. nice one, theyre on offer in tesco, 2 packs for £4 which is two weeks worth, so i think theyre cheap, specially if they have the desired effect. i didnt buy them for that, i just thought theyd make me feel better, lol, well theyve sure done that alright. lol. hugs xx

I've had the strawberry, raspberry and peach and mango flavours. All very nice and low in sugar. But yes, best of all, they seem to keep you regular! So much better and more normal than taking laxatives.
Happy to help!
