:help: can anyone tell me where I can buy ' syrup of figs'?... I believe it went off the shelves last year
( because of some EU issues) and now I can only find it online.:pain30:
Getting kinda desperate.......thanks if you can help..
 
It still appears on Morrisons online grocery store.
It is on the Boots online store too...so maybe it can be obtained in the larger branches....or maybe you could go into the one in Accrington and order it to,be sent to that branch.
Goes under the brand name of Califig and is £5.95 for a 100 mls.
I hope this helps.

If you are really stuck, buy a can of Prunes, warm them up and if you don't like them on their own add a little custard or a dollop of ice cream, don't forget to remove the stones! (they will certainly give you a good run for your money).;);)
 
Thanks for that Teddy, already done the prunes.Might try Margarets dried fruits,if they don't work does anyone know where I can get some dynamite.!!
Oh, and then I'll need a bloody good plumber.ahem!
 
Send someone out for some glycerine suppositories......push two of them into your bottom(moisten with water first to make inserting them easier).....then wait for ten or fifteen minutes before going to the loo.
Often constipation is because you are not taking in enough fibre, but also you need to drink plenty of water too.

Other than this a trip to your GP is sensible to check out if there is any underlying cause for your situation.....and they would also be able to give you something on prescription(fybogel or movicol ).
Constipation is very uncomfortable. I hope your problem eases soon.
 
Thanks Margaret,I'm trying movicol (on docs advice)..you are right it's very uncomfortable. Hoping for a result soon.still gonna try your dried fruit though.watch this space.....
 
Thanks for that Margaret.taking movicol ( docs advice)hoping for some relief soon .

o/k,but the name is Taddy,;);)
 
I think there is always some sort of food that each individual knows will make their internal workings move.......I(thankfully) do not have any problems in that department but I was terribly constipated when I was expecting my daughter.....it was all the blooming iron pills that they fed you. Pontefract cakes used to be my standy if the need arose...good job I was partial to them.

I hope boxermum has managed to getherself sorted out.....if not there might just be an explosion any day soon.
 
Hi everyone,thanks for all the advice on my recent dilemma. All is clear now������..but I can't honestly say which one did the trick.
Just back from hols, or I would have replied sooner.My holiday was great because of you guys.just thinking of excess baggage charges I would have faced if operation unbung hadn't worked.��
Ps. Sorry Taddy...senior moment there.
THANKS AGAIN ALL.

Just an update,in case another Accy webber gets in the 'trouble' I got myself into.I have found (now I don't really need it) Body shop,in the Arndale, sells syrup of figs.As a stand-by I have stocked up with a couple of bottles.
I sincerely hope no one needs it but I wanted to inform everyone, as I had searched ( I thought)everywhere and could only find it online.
