hi, I was put on this diet by a gastro enterologist ( had a colonoscopy last year due to persistent constipation)
I can ignore the lactose bit but follow the rest, although it's annoying as was mostly veggie and can't eat any pulses or lentils any longer, and no peaches

She also put me on 2 tablespoons of golden linseed every morning - either on its own or in oatmeal or granola - and I take flaxseed in the cereal too.
I've had no constipation for over a year now, having had it forever before that.

If you do the linseed, start with one spoon and work up after a week or so.
good luck

I have chronic back and nerve pain and am constipated due to pain relief. Tried everything but as I also have IBS, I couldn't tolerate most laxatives. My only saviour was Actilax, taken at bedtime. It is gentle on the stomach and it has really helped. Would recommend it.

I've also had this exact same problem, my solution was dietary, a banana for breakfast and avoiding bread made a huge difference
