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.
