Prunes & esp prune juice work wonders! I was really worried about things working OK after I gave birth so ate prunes & drank prune juice to make sure all was OK. You don't even need heaps - from memory 1L prune juice lasted me about 5-7 days, same with a pack of prunes. Anyways, I'll just say the remedy worked too well on me and I was waay too regular ]]> Wed, 06 Feb 2008 06:14:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14226&PID=295213&title=metamucil#295213 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14226&PID=294926&title=metamucil#294926 Author: mountaingoat

I have seen metamucil listed as ok during pregnancy ... I am only going to resort to it if I get desperate. I have had nasty constipation recently! I have been drinking lots of hot water with a squirt of lemon - for some reason hot water seems to help me more than cold water. Also eating lots of oats.

Benefibre is so much nicer than metamucil! Totally safe during pregnancy too!!]]> Tue, 05 Feb 2008 18:22:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14226&PID=294920&title=metamucil#294920 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14226&PID=294918&title=metamucil#294918 Author: Daizy

I have never thought of using Metamucil, must get onto it as I have finally just started taking iron too. Prunes have been good, and licorice, not sure if that really does much but it tastes good. ]]> Tue, 05 Feb 2008 18:19:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14226&PID=294918&title=metamucil#294918 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14226&PID=294896&title=metamucil#294896 Author: EmDee

I use metamucil as I'm on iron too. Mentioned it to my mw and she said it was fine. Just checked the label and it doesn't warn against use in pregnancy. Yep Metamucil is psyllium husk powder. ]]> Tue, 05 Feb 2008 17:54:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14226&PID=294896&title=metamucil#294896 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14226&PID=294885&title=metamucil#294885 Author: Redbedrock

Psyllium husk is good, I had metalax from my GP to help my irregular problem during the early times. So i guess that's safe, nut sure if metamucil is the same thing but I think it's similar. I just used it daily in juice to keep me going]]> Tue, 05 Feb 2008 17:35:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14226&PID=294885&title=metamucil#294885 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14226&PID=294862&title=metamucil#294862 Author: Shezamumof3

lol yeah i imagine it would taste funny lol. I find prunes work well for me too, doesnt take long then Im able to go without too much trouble.
Ill see if I can find some prune juice at new World when i go shopping though, would be good to try it Thanks Stacey]]> Tue, 05 Feb 2008 16:59:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14226&PID=294862&title=metamucil#294862 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14226&PID=294842&title=metamucil#294842 Author: kebakat

The only reason I suggested prune juice is because my lil man has constipation issues and so we give him watered down prune juice and it works like a charm. Does taste a bit interesting though even if he loves it lol]]> Tue, 05 Feb 2008 16:41:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14226&PID=294842&title=metamucil#294842 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14226&PID=294833&title=metamucil#294833 Author: Shezamumof3

Ive got myself some pitted prunes, and am going to start eating lots of fruit etc and drink lots of water so that should help. I was just wondering cos my brother uses it and he sprinkles it on his breakfast and he said it really helps him(he has probs with constipation etc)

I'm not sure, you could just drink kiwifruit or prune juice to keep you regular]]> Tue, 05 Feb 2008 16:33:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14226&PID=294830&title=metamucil#294830 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14226&PID=294822&title=metamucil#294822 Author: Shezamumof3
