    Do you eat an adequate balanced diet? If you are constantly snacking or not eating very much, eg trying to keep slim, you can become constipated. Also drink plenty. Your gut needs plenty of moisture to keep moving and if you are dried out it will slow down matters. Do you eat plenty of fibre? Fruit, vegetables and basic fibre is part of a balanced diet. Try eating a bran cereal for breakfast, and dont skip breakfast.

    If nothing seems to work try taking something like Fybogel once per day.

    Which herbal remedy did you take?
