Docusate - long term?
I`ve tried all the diets and pretty much all of the
laxatives
but the GP has suggested trying docusate again at a higher dose than I did before.

Questions about OIC
I've been on several stool softeners a couple of different
laxatives
and nothing seems to help with any regularity. I've tried Metamucil, Miralax, Colace and generic type stool softeners. Does anyone have anything that works for them?

Pelvic pain worsened by bending, lifting, coughing, laughing, standing, walking, sitting...
I have had some constipation for the past month or so and have been advised to start taking
laxatives
, but I’m unsure that would be the cause of such debilitating pain. Does anyone have any ideas? Should I try and get a second opinion about e.g. a possible hernia?

Has anyone's child had an endoscopy or scan?
It's been very frustrating as all they've done is given her
laxatives
in vary doses and nothing has improved in all that time. I've never been 100% convinced that it's constipation. On our last appointment, I got them to agree to give her an abdomen scan and an endoscopy.

4 year old refuses toilet and potty
He has had problems with constipation and is on
laxatives
. He is now at school until 3.15 pm and we've been trying all summer just to get him to do one wee on the toilet. It's been so stressful. He hasn't managed it.

Chronic Constipation Since PD Prescription Changed
I have consumed much more fluids, salads, prunes, veggies, apples, stool softeners and
laxatives
-- to no avail. The enema worked, but BMs are still not normal. I believe that the extreme change in my PD treatments is removing all fluids from my intestines.

Spasticity, incontinence, constipation, and that.
Plenty of bran, stayed hydrated, etc, but no joy, so I took some
laxatives
. Ahhh. But then days went by, close to a week, had to take them again, ended up being dependent on
laxatives
for about three weeks. I honestly thought that was my future, and I wasn't that concerned.

10 month wait on NHS...should I go private?
I'm missing uni and work, I can't go a day without codeine, which is making me really constipated (tmi), but I'm scared to take the
laxatives
they've given me because the pain in unreal when I do. Last time I passed out (not that the GP cared)! I'm just at the end of the road.

Stomach problems, possibly slow transit?
I can go a week or more with nothing until I take
laxatives
. I paid to see a gastroenterologist about 6 weeks ago as the wait time was 24 weeks! He has ordered a colonoscopy and ct scan which I've had but not the results yet. He gave me prucalopride but this didnt work at all.

Long term bowel problems
For some years now I’ve been unable to have a natural bowel movement without using suppositories and sometimes
laxatives
. My diet is good, I drink plenty of water, so I was wondering if anyone else had similar problem and how are they tackling it. It makes days out and travel very difficult.

Please help: Gastrointestinal symptoms
Now, I have tried everything to try and get some relief: all the IBS diets, fasting, only eating salads, cutting out all sugars including fruit and carbs, herbal remedies, anti-depressants, peppermint oil,
laxatives
... the list goes on. Can anybody shed some light on my situation?

stage 4 endo with constipation and lots of wind
I am still waiting for my op and waiting to see a bowel surgeon due to the endo being stuck to it and was just wondering if this could be the reason. taking 30ml of
laxatives
twice a day isn't making me feel any better or helping me go the toilet on a regular basis.
