Guest guest Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Hi Just wondering if anyone knows what is good to help the bowels? My bowels rarely work which I'm sure is all Candida related. Does anyone else suffer from constipation? Any ideas anyone? thanks Maddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I haven't tried figs or whole prunes - I thought tinned ones would be nice and soft but then I suppose there is the problem of what they line the tins with, oh dear. Does anyone know whether tins have got any better (I think the prob, may be bisphenolA or similar in the linings. I think he'd hate dried figs - I'd have to make them into something. I know the soft ready to eat prunes are to avoid because of addtitives to make them soft. Timw to get a bottle of syrup of figs in the cupbpard though.
