Citrucel

Fybogel gives me stomach ache so I`ve given up on that but my GP has never mentioned Citrucel - perhaps it`s not available on prescription?Fybogel gives me stomach ache so I`ve given up on that but my GP has never mentioned Citrucel - perhaps it`s not available on prescription?

Constipation - 2ww/very early pregnancy

I have got fybogel since so that i don't have the same problem again. I have just got my bfp so it's really worrying me. Technically i'm still in the 2ww, as OTD is still 4 days away. Just need some reassurances xI have got fybogel since so that i don't have the same problem again. I have just got my bfp so it's really worrying me.

constipation caused by amitriptyline

I`m taking fybogel twice a day, and using a glycerin suppository most days. I`m eating plenty of fruit and veg including prunes. I can`t eat much high-fibre cereal as that makes me very bloated and even more "bunged up". I have tried magnesium citrate in the past but it caused stomach cramps.I`m taking fybogel twice a day, and using a glycerin suppository most days.

Movicol - sticky motions!

Fybogel doesn`t help either so I switched to Movicol. It is more effective but causes 5 or 6 mainly small bm`s each day which are "sticky" and it takes ages to clean myself after each one. This makes me very sore and has even caused minor bleeding a couple of times..Fybogel doesn`t help either so I switched to Movicol.

Please help!!

My doctor started me off on a course of Mebeverine & Fybogel and I really want to know how long these are likely to take to work (if at all, Buscopan didn't? And if there is anything I can do to try and ease the pain.My doctor started me off on a course of Mebeverine & Fybogel and I really want to know how long these are likely to take to work (if at all, Buscopan didn't?

ibs? why is my body acting like this

At first I thought this was normal so I tried fybogel which didn't do much but then I started to having feelings of being bloated in my lower abdomen/rectum even after passing stools.At first I thought this was normal so I tried fybogel which didn't do much but then I started to having feelings of being bloated in my lower abdomen/rectum even after passing stools.

IBS Cured

I continued to take fybogel but the next BM (two days after) was also very smooth. Again, I checked feces and I saw one worm. Continued with fybogel, next bowel movement was also regular and normal. So, stopped taking fybogel. I've had normal bowel movements since.I continued to take fybogel but the next BM (two days after) was also very smooth. Again, I checked feces and I saw one worm.

Fibogel makes things worse?

I’ve always found Fybogel makes Me feel worse? More bloated, more cramps, generally uncomfortable has anyone else found this? It made me go but I just feel so bloated and uncomfortable every time I have them. But don’t find that issue when taking laxidoI’ve always found Fybogel makes Me feel worse?

Fybogel not Effective Anymore

If the fybogel + Mebeverine tablets (taken separately) works, I may just switch to fybogel Mebeverine sachets.If the fybogel + Mebeverine tablets (taken separately) works, I may just switch to fybogel Mebeverine sachets.

Anyone experienced blood in stools? Should I be worried

I was told it could be ibs and giving me stuff like fybogel to try but it’s not relieved it at all if anything it has gotten worse. The blood and mucus has gotten really bad over the last few weeks, to the point I pass it even when passing wind or having a pee.I was told it could be ibs and giving me stuff like fybogel to try but it’s not relieved it at all if anything it has gotten worse.

Movicol - disappointing

I have also thought about Fybogel - haven`t tried that lately and the last time I did I was very stressed which was making the IBS very erratic Please don`t give me any other suggestions for sorting out the constipation - I`ve tried everything!I have also thought about Fybogel - haven`t tried that lately and the last time I did I was very stressed which was making the IBS very erratic Please don`t give me any other suggestions for sorting out the constipation - I`ve tried everything!

Chronic constipation

I keep suffering with chronic constipation and all I'm told is to add more fibre or increase my Cosmocol sachets or add Fybogel. I've tried all this and nothing works. 😐😢 I'm at my wits end here and I'm so depressed because of it.I keep suffering with chronic constipation and all I'm told is to add more fibre or increase my Cosmocol sachets or add Fybogel.
