What foods is very high in fibre?

Options
I've been on holiday the past week and have been eating pure junk food and soft drinks with hardly any veg or water.


Not surprisingly I'm lacking in toilet movement.


I have a packet of scan bran from my slimming world days, it's still in date but I hate that stuff. I want something that will work by tomorrow morning.

    Really?


    That's usually my choice of drink when I (rarely) go to the pub.
    I drink it when on my period (to replace iron) but I don't recall it having the loo effect on me. But then again I don't drink that much of it.

    TBH if you want results by tomos, laxatives are your best bet.

    Or, after the many pints of Guinness, an early breakfast of strong black tea.

    Plenty of hot fluids and a bit of exercise will help.

    Go for a long walk - works for me! Always need to "go" after a walk, in fact usually end up having to walk really fast to make it!

    A handful of prunes should work well too. They have an ingredient which stimulates peristalsis and are much more gentle than anything chemical. I find half a dozen is about right

    Apricots, raspberries, leeks, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussel sprouts and don't forget baked beans (beans and pulses) - I always find are good openers.
    I agree with a good long walk and plenty of water - helps gets things moving.
