I have suffered from regular constipation since I was about 16 years old. Being constipated makes me feel really uncomfortable. I feel heavy and drained, like I am carrying around extra weight. There doesn't seem to be a particular trigger for my constipation episodes.
I hate the feeling of not being in control. Sometimes the symptoms would go away, but then they would come back again, just as bad. I felt like I was trapped. I really wanted something to solve the problem.
There are times when the symptoms were worse and I felt really bunged up and bloated.Sometimes, I wouldn't go to the toilet for a number of days, which felt reallyuncomfortable and sometimes painful.. I just wanted a product to shift the problem and get my system moving again and back to working order. I tried a few other remedies, but nothing really seemed to agree with me. I was always quite nervous of trying a new constipation remedy because I wasn't sure how the products worked and didn't want to be caught short.
After a while, I decided to try Fybogel Hi-Fibre to help ease the constipation, and it worked for me. I now take the product every few days to help maintain the regularity of my system when I need a little extra help. I liked the fact that it was a natural fibre drink. I always knew that I should try to eat more fruit and veg than I had been doing, but its not always the easiest thing to do, is it? I find it hard to tolerate bran, so found it hard to get more roughage in my diet. I didn't have that problem with Fybogel Hi-Fibre because it helped make it easier to pass.
When I have treated my constipation, I feel so much better, almost like I am healthier from the inside. People have even commented on how different I am. I certainly feel more confident because I feel like I am back in control.
