Those weight loss milk drinks work a treat too, lots of fibre, not too bad a taste, and they have lots of vitamins in too. It basically helps you lose weight by making you "go" more - thus using up the extra water you may be storing. Works the same way for the other too.

Oh, and drink plenty of ordinary liquid for general lubrication.

And never get a woman who has been pregnant into a conversation about constipation!!! You may end up trying the Bookshop remedy - walk into any book store and you will really need to go! Happens to me even now!
