Laxatives and dates!

I didn’t think I could take laxatives.

my ob said it was perfectly safe, i take miralax every now and then if i feel backed up, fiber snacks are great too!

Dried apricots 🫶🏼

Thank you!

Salad daily

I hope it gets better for us 😩

I tried a few things.. prunes ext but nothing worked for me so had to have laxatives instead 😩 mixed with cranberry juice because it tastes absolutely vile

A glass of cloudy pear juice every day can really help. Or try taking a magnesium oxide or magnesium citrate supplement - they’re good support to get things moving

I take this. My midwife recommended it. and it helps with sleep too!! Natural Vitality Calm, Magnesium... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0012619B0?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Peppermint tea, warm apple juice, and honestly a cup of coffee always helps me poop!

I swear by kiwis. When I'm very constipated I might eat 6-8 in one day, but once things are moving again, 2-3 a day usually maintains good digestive transit. I also drink prune juice before bed, but if you only try one I would highly recommend kiwis.

Blowing out like you're blowing through a straw. I thought it was insane but trust me it works x

A smoothie every morning and I also bought a squaty potty from Amazon that helped

Plums, kiwis and huge bowls of salad always do the job. And water!

Kiwi for breakfast, trust me

Getting some kiwi now. Just left my midwife she ended up doing an ename and I instantly felt better after going. I was in so much pain. Getting more fruits, I thought I was getting enough fiber but I guess not

Kiwis! 2 every morning WITH the skin, best remedy out there
