    Hi Christie, l was prescribed Cosmocol to take but found it made me bloated, with painful wind. I've chosen to try using ground flaxseed & also used oat bran instead (wheat based things don't suit me at all). So far l find the oat bran best, it helps keep me regular with almost no bloating or wind. Still drink as much as possible & take probiotic daily, unfortunately we all seem to respond differently to these things so good luck with finding something that works for you
