Product Description

Ispaghula Husk Orange 30 Constipation can be caused by a poor diet, not drinking enough water, or not going to the toilet as soon as you feel the need to. Pregnancy, a lack of exercise or movement (such as being ill in bed) & some medicines, including some painkillers, can also cause constipation. Increasing the amount of fibre (such as bran) in your diet & drinking 6-8 glasses of water a day can effectively prevent or relieve constipation. You will have been recommended ispaghula husk for constipation if you cannot increase the fibre in your diet or if this is insufficient. Ispaghula husk works by increasing the bulk of the stools, which encourages the bowels to move the stools through the digestive system thus relieving constipation. This bulking action means that it can also be used to help treat diarrhoea & to help regulate the passage of food through the gut in people with certain long-term bowel disorders such as an ileostomy, irritable bowel syndrome & ulcerative colitis.
