Gutfeel Granlues Substitute

Gutfeel Granlues contains Ispaghula and Lactitol. Ispaghula works by absorbing water and makes the stool soft and bulky and easier to pass. Lactitol works by breaking down into low-molecular-weight organic acids in the colon, which increases the osmotic pressure. This causes an increase in water content in stools, and stool volume, thereby makes the stool softer and easier to pass and provides relief from constipation.

Diarrhoea might occur if Gutfeel Granlues is taken in larger doses. Drink lots of fluids and eat food rich in fibre if you experience diarrhoea. If you find blood in stools (tarry stools) or if you experience excess diarrhoea consult your doctor. Do not take anti-diarrheal medicine on your own.

Do not take Gutfeel Granlues for more than a week as it might lead to dependency on Gutfeel Granlues for a bowel movement. Taking Gutfeel Granlues for longer durations might also cause dehydration, imbalance of fluids and salts in the body which can affect the tightness of muscles in the intestine. If your bowel movement is irregular even after taking Gutfeel Granlues for a week, consult your doctor.

Gutfeel Granlues can be given to children if prescribed by the doctor. The dose and duration depend upon the child’s age and body weight.

Constipation happens when the normal actions of muscle in the large intestine get slowed down, which means the waste part (stools) did not get easily eliminated from the body.
