Hi lovelies,

Does anyone suffer with bowel overflow when you can’t poop 💩 and what do you use to get it going again? Xxx

Hi CallmeMum

My oncologist recommended ducolease when I was so constipated after chemo . Two twice a day and a movicol. Hope this works for you . You can get them at the chemist or on prescription. Hope you get some success soon xxx

Duphlac or lactose adding hot water, 4 or 5 prunes a day to keep functional

I use movicol you can buy it over the counter or ask for script.

Fresh coffee and iced water are good too

Take 2 Dulcolax tablets in the afternoon next day they will work believe me

Or a milder remedy Senokot tablets,

Liquorice works a treat for me.
