I had a small bowel resection a year ago and have been constipated ever since and taking Movical every day.
Before the operation I used to take Linusit Gold (whole linseeds) and this kept me regular.
I have been frightened to take the Linseeds in whole form since the operation and have tried ground linseed (blocked me up more) and then I ground the whole linseed so I was getting the outer part as well (still blocked me up).
I am wondering if its safe to take the whole linseeds again
I tried the flax oil and that did nothing.
I am also frightened to eat skins (jacket potatoes) etc. Can anyone advise.
(I thought I read somewhere not to eat skins and seeds, or was that just after the operation).
Any advice would be appreciated. Or, if you take something daily for your constipation that works, as well.
Thanks
