    Pressed enter too quickly. I know I am. I move between constipation and let me spend the next 3 hours in the loo. The longest was recently hence why I started a thread called Triggering Your Own Illness so this may give you some ideas. For me I was unwell on Feb 4th for over 3 hours which also went past midnight on the 5th Feb and the next time I was unwell was Monday 22nd so over 2 weeks. I may have gone longer in the past but since I was unwell on the 4th it was on my mind more. In the past I could have longer and never even thought about it but over time I have become more and more anxious about it and that does not help the situation. No idea on probiotics so more advice needed on that one.

    I find oranges very good to get rid of constipation.    With having IBS, my bowel is mostly very slow in moving.  I  have also heard on this forum that green grapes are also helpful.  If you are not intolerant to citrus fruits and those with stones, then it is worth trying.

    However, I don't know enough about probiotics.

      My doc recommended apples but they are a no no in here.

      I don't know enough about probiotics to help.

      Also a morning lie in helps but I can do that at the mo

    liquorice!! not the allsorts, pieces of liquorice. My 81 year-old pal with naids induced constipation (pain killers) tried all the normal then found that liquorice really works,,, not just for her, lots of others too now

    Hi deb

    Every tried changing ur diet n foods u eat? Keep a diary?

    i know having more fibre in ur diet, can help some people go more often n can release alot of build up and pains. Or try bootea. 14 day trial worth it.might think pricey, U have a drink a day. N the night tea's drink one every other day - but really helps detox ur body n bowels gives u more energy i find. Pick up any health shops or order online.

    Good luck keep positive x
