Constipation

Constipation is a very common issue affecting people of all ages. Causes can be wide-ranged, including not eating enough fibre, not having enough fluids, stress, depression, not being physically active, sitting or lying in bed for long periods, changing diet or daily routine, and ignoring the urge to go to the toilet, among others. Constipation is also common during pregnancy and for about 6 weeks after giving birth. We would be delighted to work with you to understand the dietary factors that may be driving your symptoms and find dietary solutions without the further need for laxatives.​
