I've had a dose of severe constipation and resorted to eating lots of fruit and bowls of bran flakes. Its helped but by Christ its now given me a liquid stream. I suppose it'll sort itself out.
Why do you get constipation in the first place?

Haha. That amused me, I don't know if its intentional or not
But yes. Poor diet is one of the main causes.
IBS :wave:
They are not always symptons of IBS. I have IBS so I know why I sometimes suffer from the two and I know what triggers them too.
Well if you IBS then maybe something you are eating triggers it off. I know cheese and fatty foods trigger mine off.
i have no idea what trigger mine. how do you work it out? i have ibs and mainly goes on the constipated side and i swear it drains the life out of me.
Well I worked it out by eating something and then if it tiggered an attack then I knew that that food had caused it.
Fibre is good to keep your bowels working properly.
not enough fibre doesnt cause ibs, its not known what causes it but fibre can help with the digestive process.
ah, sorry, just read your post wrong
curries? shouldn't that make you go not make you constipated?
