Experiences with

Dulcolax

Dulcolax usually works but I feel so nauseous and shivering on it. I have to use a stimulant laxative as nothing else helps. I have been prescribed procalopride which is a big step to take I am told. Any feedback would be helpful I feel so poorly with it all.

I was having some bloating and stomach issues so I took a Dulcolax stool softener. I then looked online and saw all these reviews about people getting violently ill taking this . I freaked out. And spiraled into anxious thoughts.

I took one dulcolax last night at about 10pm. I had 3 bowel movements in the space of an hour, 11am-12pm today. No pain or discomfort. I felt amazing after but it’s now 3:30pm and i feel like i’m constipated again and that there is still more to be released.

They gave me a load of dulcolax tablets in the hospital, been mixing with pico liquid (strong) and senna. I needed an enema on Friday (like firing a barrage of pellets) then yesterday tried again, fired some lumps through.

Dulcolax did empty my bowels but I also had the worst cramps ever so cannot take it again. Senna had no effect. Does anyone have any suggestions for other things I can try or has been experiencing similar symptoms?

Stool softeners don't work and I need to take dulcolax to get things working. I also get bad endo like cramps when I go to the toilet. I had an upset stomach a few days ago and it was so bad I thought I was going to pass out. Do you think this is the endo? 😬 Lots of love xx

Dr suggested Dulcolax, but I’m nervous of that because of the pain and sometimes IBS cramps.Anyone tried it? This is keeping me at home as I’m in too much discomfort to go out and living alone it gets very depressing. Any suggestions gratefully received. Ros

remedies (have always consumed prunes every day together with a high fibre oats/wheat-bran/toasted wheat/berries breakfast but these dont seem to change things) I am currently taking Dulcoease stool softeners with no real improvement and even tried glycerine suppositories - as a last resort have tried dulcolax

Nothing I take works dulcolax miralax and movicol. I decided picolax is my last resort I only took one sachet and felt a lot of water coming out after fifteen minutes o been going to the toilet but only watery liquid is coming out. I have been taking a lot of movicol so idk if that’s the reason.

Constipated everyday, using movicol sachet and dulcolax to help with this. Frequently get anal bleeding and discharge, sorry if TMI. So still waiting around the 10 month mark now for gyne appointment.

Then I will have to give her Dulcolax to clear out which she hates. This was all recommended by her consultant. She is always complaining of tummy aches and I feel it's the movicol but it will be worse if I stop. We have tried to cut out Lactose and wheat but it didn't change anything.

i had an xray a few weeks back which revealed i had a hugely loaded bowel, as i only had a bowel movement once or twice a week and it was very hard/painful to pass. ive started laxatives (dulcolax) as prescribed by my doctor and they seemed to work for a few days, meaning i had a lot of bowel movements

We have also been giving him pico sulphate (dulcolax - 4mg) at nights.... Long shot, but could it be that he is now fully cleared out in which case he can actually feel when he needs to poo and is getting back to some normality? Just wondering where to go next?

some advice - I have had slow transit constipation and IBS/C for many years and recently prescribed Linaclotide which I’ve been taking for a few weeks all this seems to have done is caused severe bloating but not helped with my severe constipation-I have reverted back to taking Resolor together with Dulcolax

Took 2 Dulcolax yesterday at 9am. No effect. Took too more at bedtime. No effect. Had 2 prune smoothies yesterday too with zero effect. Plenty of coffee, which I don't normally drink. Gallons of water. I've walked 30km over the last week so exercise hasn't helped either.

Dulcolax works but I heard some horror stories. A PWP in my support group took a sleeping pill and Dulcolax the same night. Not a good ending. Been thinking. Can PD be caused by constipation? Be safe, take care and God bless. Happy Holidays!!

I can only have a bowel movement by inserting two Dulcolax suppositories rectally. This condition is killing me mentally and physically. Any help!

I have had a recommendation to take Dulcolax. Not sure I will, given all your alternate suggestions, but wonder if anyone here has taken it safely and successfully? Thanks for your eternal patients.

My prep consists of Dulcolax and Miralax mixed with sports drinks. One 238 gram bottle of miralax with 64 ounces of sport drink. Has anyone else done this prep? I started last night and the prep goes through the weekend. I’m used the the one that you start the day before.
