£2.99

I used to use this (it's very good and kept me regular) until I discovered it contained Aspartame, so now I use DulcoEase.

Sugar free dulcolax is prescribable in bottles, lots easier to take than tablets where you have to take a set dosage in the tablet..

Isn't coconut high carb?

No, 7.5 percent carbs, and it is quite fluffy so two tablespoons is not a lot by weight.

I took 2 senokots on thursday night. Constipation seems to be the opposite of what's happening now. Apparently this Senna stuff is not good. I'm not inclined to argue

Psyillium is just too expensive. It's £17 in the shops. I cannot afford that

Wow that is expensive! It only costs about 3 euros here in Cyprus.

I guess it has to be imported. The sort of place that sells it isn't a cheap place anyway; it's a specialist product and I've never seen it on sale in regular supermarkets.

No, It is available very inexpensively here in the UK too. You just need to shop around. I get excellent value on Amazon with free P&P.

Lots of veg, but also enough fat in your diet.

I wish I hadn't taken that Senokot on thursday. That stuff is rough!

Ever since then, my stomach has been rumbling a lot between meals. Anyone know a good low carb remedy?

Relaxation, gentle walking and time.

Noise in your stomach at least proves its working!! And less likely to be bunged up.. it should be a warning for you to recognise when it isnt making noises that it is slow and may need diff food or medication to help it.....

Walking is the best thing!!
