How does Fibersol relieve constipation?

What is constipation?
Constipation isn’t just about not being able to go to the toilet - rather, it describes a collection of symptoms that include hard, pellet-like stools, excessive straining, a sensation that you are unable to go, and a decrease in bowel movements.
The source of constipation varies, but it could be caused by medication, lack of fibre, dehydration, stress, exercise, hormones, or ignoring the urge to go to the toilet. However, it’s important to remember that constipation is subjective to the individual, and it’s very normal to not have a daily bowel movement.
Is Fybogel Fibre Chews suitable for children?
Fybogel Fibre Chews are suitable for children aged 12 years and over. If you’re looking for a constipation treatment for a child under the age of 12, you should speak to your doctor or Chemist4U pharmacist for advice on alternative treatments.
Is Fybogel Fibre Chews suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women?
