Experiences with

Laxatives

That last 60 seconds was a reminder of w1r1, anyhow I did it...... and who needs laxatives you just need to run 🏃‍♀️ 😂😂😂

So apologies in advance for the long post but this is what’s happened so far since Feb I’ve been admitted to hospital 7 times I take the following daily.. codeine, morphine, paracetamol, tramidol, anti sickness medication, sleeping medication and laxatives(I’ve been on laxatives since December otherwise

Hi My husband is having dreadful problems with his bowels, The Drs said it is neuropathy of the bowel and now has to have enemas alternate days, as laxatives and suppositories have not helped.

Hi all, any suggestions for a child who only drinks water so therefore won’t take laxatives? He doesn’t like milk, milkshakes, yoghurt, squash, OJ, custard, hot chocolate. Can you mix it into ice cream? Melted chocolate and harden it again? Help would be much appreciated. Thanks

The whole thing is just a bit anti-social, but stronger laxatives aren’t recommended and I’m not sure of the wisdom of taking old fashioned remedies like Andrews or bi-carb. Any ideas for this slightly unpleasant problem would be welcome.

My gastroenterologist has given me these to try instead of relying on laxatives. Over the last year I've been constantly bloated and uncomfortable and only seem to have bowel movements if I take dulcolax.

I was also badly constipated and over the counter laxatives and Magnesium Citrate did not help. I finally decided to contact a clinic who specializes in digestive diseases and they performed an EGD and colonoscopy on me monday July 22.

So I would say from that, even after a disimpaction, keep the poo as loose as porridge with the laxatives, don’t aim for solid poos for 3 months. I guess the child needs to be disimpacted AND healed before he or she can even think about pushing again!

I saw a specialist and he said my bowel is full and have my some laxatives. I have also got to have some tests done to see what my bladder is like and why I keep having this problem. He said it could be because my bowel is so full it is disrupting my bladder.

Hi I really need help my 10 yr old son he has been ill for the last 2 months he was in hospital with severe constipation he had his bloods done and they told me his thyroid was a little low he is always tired now and finds it really hard to concentrate at school he was sent home on a regime of laxatives

The huge amount of various laxatives seem to have stopped working and he now has an enema once a day. He has puréed food because he is struggling to swallow. I guess what I’m asking is this the end now? Has anyone else watched a loved one go through this?

Hi lovelies, I was at the hospital today with my special person (she's still in...) a palliative care nurse came along and started saying what she was doing with my special person stronger laxatives etc she was just about to go then her oncologist came and the nurse decided to stay (I could have killed

He didn’t really understand my question, but I don’t want to be crippled in pain anymore or having to live on laxatives. Thankyou for any advice or opinions 😁

The week of treatments wasn’t horrible..just have to do the daily laxatives and enemas, eat same foods at same times , etc... Started getting fatigued around Wed/Thur and Radiation ended Friday...i was able to workout Saturday but got super super tired and dehydrated .

So my question is can I take laxatives without compromising the diet.

Trying the FODMAP and taking some laxatives. I also drink a lot of water and herbals and walk everyday 20+20 mins to go to work. Two months ago I took a CT scan that was clear but I am still thinking about nasty causes. I can’t bare this situation anymore 😭

For the next 24 hours I was so pumped full of laxatives I lost count of my sprints to the toilet. Eventually I fall asleep that night and wake up the next morning as if nothing had happened. So much so that I thought perhaps I had dreamed the whole thing.

Hi ladies Does anyone still take daily laxatives after surgery treatment? Oncologist said probably need them for life due to scar tissue. It’s been 3 years now 😬 She doesn’t anticipate any long term side affects. Wonder what you ladies thought. Xx
