Any ladies have any good reports of this?!

I do have lactulose, but i've stopped taking it because I can't stand the taste of it anymore.

Ive had 20mls of MofM and im hoping it's going to work! Im in agony again!! x x

I had a TERRIBLE case of constipation in 1st tri. DH brought home MofM and I took it that night, I was in the clear by 5 am the next morning. What a life saver it was! Luckily I haven't had to take it since.

Seems a bit mad.. but can you remember how much you took!! Lol... it says 6 to 9 teaspoons full.. i've had 3!! im wondering whether to go all out with the 6!! x

Mine came with a mini cup and I took 1 cup full.. it was probably around 5 teaspoons full? I think.. and it was gross though.

If that doesnt do the trick you can also take fibregel. Again it tastes awful but it does work.

I think I may as well try it as well.. give everything a go!
Everything tastes horrible at the moment, but it really isn't worth the pain I go through. It subsided for a long time, and now it's come back with a vengeance! Probably because I stopped taking the lactulose! x
