At risk of developing low thyroid?
I have tried all
laxatives
, paying close attention to my diet and nothing works, i had some blood work done at the doctors because the bloods from April revealed a low thyroid when i was informed everything was okay.

Possible Endometriosis- First hospital app with a specialist.. what to expect?
I have made several trips to my GP over the past 7 years and have been fobbed off with pain killers, the pill and
laxatives
. When last went to my GP i raised the question of Endo and asked for a referral which he reluctantly gave me.

IBS turned out to be IBD
The past 6 months, the symptoms quickly became worse and after about 7 or 8 trips to the doctor (and failed attempts to 'cure' using anti spasmodic pills,
laxatives
, stool softeners), I finally got a referral to the hospital.

Gastroparesis or side effects?
They clear the blockage and give me
laxatives
to take at home but the same thing happens. Daily doses of Lactulose and Movicol but so far after 8 days still nothing.

Smoothies and carrot juice throughout treatment
I never had constipation and the nurses were always surprised I did not need
laxatives
. Actually, I still have the smoothies and carrot juice. I can also recommend energy p!us milkshake for energy. It helped me so much with the tiredness.

Constipation on Birth Control
Whenever I go on 1 I get constipated, I was instructed to take
laxatives
if it happens but whenever I do that I get really sick even if it's taking a tablespoon of prune juice.

Constipation tip
She explained that
laxatives
do 1 of 2 things: either make the colon work, ie encourage peristalsis (this is what Movicol does) or draw liquid out of the body into the bowels to make the faecal matter more moist and 'slippery'. This type of laxative is better for PSP patients.

Fibroids, Diverticula ?
I took
laxatives
to clear the poo problem. My doctor did actually examine me following the hospital visit and my uterus was swollen, tender and painful Sorry for length of this. I have now been reffered to a gynacologist, just waiting for the appointment.

Has anyone had a barium follow through examination?
I've had life long severe constipation which is treated with
laxatives
. Is it worth having this test done? I'm just wondering whether to give up and leave all this alone.
