Experiences with

Fybogel

I read that fybogel can help bull up diarrhoea; yet I also read that taking fybogel for more than a few days can cause diarrhoea that can last a long time. Which is correct?

The pain is continual at the moment and both Fybogel and Docusate don't seem to have helped despite making my stools somewhat softer ‐ they are still difficult to pass requiring straining and very little peristalsis feeling.

have been taking laxido and senna and no movement so Doctors put me fybogel and bysicodol after 5 days had stool but like worms and still feel like there’s hardened pop not coming out and loose stool going around it can I take laxido now to loosen it back up I’m just so confused as to what to do next

Hi I have suffered with constipation and stomach cramps for years, only recently went to the doctors cause the pains were chronic, a month previously i got told I had osephagatis, now been told i got IbS, I am forever wanting the loo, bit I struggle all time, and makes me so upset, I av been given fybogel

Am prescribed Fybogel for keeping the colon empty but am only taking half the dose at the moment as I'm afraid of full dose consequences...

I've tried buscopan, mebeverine, peppermint capsules, fybogel, windeze, you name it. Now trying Actimel.

Has anyone taken Lactulose alongside Fybogel? Should I stop the Fybogel when I take the Lactulose? Thank you.

I have been using fybogel for the last 2weeks but it has not helped stall anyone else found this

Has anyone else had worse symptoms when taking fybogel or is it an adjustment I should push through? I'm getting loads of discharge as well for the first time in a while, as well as yoyo-ing madly between over hydrated and dehydrated which is causing dizzy spells.

I have been trialled on other laxatives such as Laxido, Fybogel & Senna but these made me worse. If anyone has any feedback on the suppositories would be great to know. Thx

I have been trying it as an option to Fybogel (which seems to increase bloating). I'm gradually reducing the Fybogel with the aim of taking just the PHGG. So far the results are very good. It is available online although I don't think in UK stores.

Hi, does anyone use fybogel for slow transit of food also Docusate. Doc put me on both, had fybogel years ago, I'm aware fybogel can block you up,Docusate is a stool softener.

Constipation - having to use Fybogel every day now. I’ve been on oestrogen only hrt since august of last year . Firstly the gel that you rub in. Then because of shortages I had to go onto patches.

This time I took Fybogel which did work - eventually. Just wondering what you would suggest.

I've been on and off on Fybogel Mebverine and been on PPIs for years but have weaned myself off these: meds are not a long term solution and it's never helpful visiting a GP who just fobs you off with these.

Anyone got experience with fybogel and laxido/movicol for long term? With fybogel it seems it takes a while to get working (compared to 6+ hour for other types).

I have a weird taste and nothing I eat tastes the same I’m wondering if it’s caused by fybogel

‘Normal’ bladder and bowel function don’t exist and I’ve been advised to take fybogel three times a day.

I have tried Fybogel, contraceptive pill, ibuprofen, paracetamol and I am currently on Dihydrocodeine as well. Any advice would be hugely appreciated as this is taking its toll on my relationship, work, family, friends and my mental health now too. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
