Look, we’re going to have to be straight with you here. Sometimes, you can struggle to go for a poo. To defecate. To answer the call of nature. And so on. This can happen for a number of reasons and can last for various lengths of times. One of the ways that you can treat this constipation is with laxatives. That’s where we come in.  

We offer various types of constipation relief, including tablets, chews, and syrups. They work in a few ways, such as increasing the amount of fibre in your body or retaining water in your stool to make them easier to pass.  

If you have other ailments, then Sainsbury’s might be able to help there too. We offer first aid supplies such as antiseptic treatments and plasters. We also have products to help with sleep and calming, as well as soluble pain relief for aches and pains.  

Sometimes constipation can be relieved by a change in diet. Drinking more water can help with passing stool. And try foods that are high in fibre such as many fresh fruits or bran and fibre-based cereal. You could even combine them for a delicious breakfast!
