Experiences with

Laxatives

It's it even possible for laxatives to have the opposite effect?

I have read that Prednisolone should not be taken with laxatives due to effects of lowering potassium levels? I take Movicol for chronic constipation due to sluggish bowel. Of course this has now worried me (health anxiety). Can anyone reassure me or am I worrying needlessly (as I do 😔)

It started after the third month but is becoming more prevalent, now using laxatives. (Otc) Anyone have similar side effects? Any prescription meds helpful?

My partner and I are at our wits end, we feel like we're trying everything but it's just not enough.Doesnt help that our GP told me to give him max 6 laxatives a day and get him down to 4 asap as his system will become dependent on them.

Conventional treatment includes the use of laxatives to remove stools. The regular use of such chemical-based drugs can imbalance body metabolism and affect the digestive system.

She's still on laxatives and drinking peppermint tea for gas. Would love to hear anyone's experiences about if/when your bowels do go back to normal after debulking. Thank you <3

Can anyone with up and coming surgery make use of remaining unopened laxative sachets (I think there are 14 left), an almost full bottle of H&B Peppermint oil capsules, and three pairs of minimally worn and clean compression stockings in size small?
