aahhhh i think i've found the culprit (thanks to cymrucath!). i've been really good on the water until last week when i switched to mango juice and loads of it too. its all i drink now, with lots of ice. must be a craving thing. i see mango is on the list of natural laxatives but i obviously need water to help the flushing process

so water is back on for me. got a pineapple in the fruit bowl as well which i plan to eat some of tonight along with some watermelon xx

My MW suggested shredded wheat with warm milk & brown sugar - it worked for me : )

It is really strange isn't it? You think fluid is fluid but everything is working double time in your system now so it needs more lubrication to help it work!

If you eat all that fruit and drink lots of water though you may want to go around with a bucket just in case!

Good luck I hope stuff gets 'moving' soon lol x

My midwife suggested Syrup of Figs. You can get it at Boots and it tastes kind of cinnamon-y.
