Fibre supplement

You can try a fibre supplement called psyllium husk. It can help make your poo softer and easier to pass.

How to take it:

• Start with a small amount, like ½ tablespoon each day
• After a week, you can increase to 1 tablespoon each day
• You can slowly increase more if needed
• You can mix it into foods like porridge, soup, or yoghurt.
• Drink a glass of water when you take it. This helps it work properly.

If it does not help after a few weeks, speak to your GP or dietitian.
