Hi,

I'm on ss, sometimes ss+ and only poo if I take dulcolax, is this normal?

I drink between 3 and 4 lts of water, this should help with things in that dept.

I don't take any fibre stuff, but maybe I should. What do you take?

Can I take plain fibogel?

Thanks

not very often is the short answer, and it's not very pleasant :-(

and I think you can take fibresure or pysillium husks ... not 100% but someone will possibly be able to clarify

I think 'not very' is normal from what I've read. I take Fybogel (the plain one in the green box, not the lemon or orange flavoured one) every 2 or 3 days. I don't like what it does to the shakes - it makes the texture a bit weird for me so I might start just having it in some water.

I now use the CD fibre. I didn't at first and the pain was .... well lets say - not going there again. It was like trying to pass a whole load of glass marbles which had fused together to something the size of a large grapefruit. Pain Pain and more Pain.
Now i am a good girl and take my fibre!
