Feeling Blocked Up? Here's What You Need to Know About Laxatives

Are you dealing with constipation and wondering which laxative to choose? Before reaching for a remedy, it’s important to understand why you might be constipated.

It could be due to:

A low-fibre diet

A blockage in the bowel (including cancer)

Nerve-related gut motility issues

Gut microbiome imbalances (like Intestinal Methanogen Overgrowth)
