Laxative reduction

A consultant two years ago and my present doctor tell me to reduce my daily dose of Laxido (Movicol) from 2+ sachets per day to 1 sachet, and I want to do so. But I increased the dose from 1 per day several years back because it wasn't effective any more, and if I try to get back to one I will meet an air bubble wall on day 2,

It would be very helpful to hear from anyone who has done this successfully!

AND HOW THEY DID IT!

Many thanks!

Can you maybe try alternate days of 1 /2 sachets and see how that goes first? 😊
