Movicol/colonoscopy prep for IBS relief
Hi all, I have predominantly IBS-D but occasionally I have bouts of horrific IBS-C (I can go up to a week without any bowel movements). This is accompanied by horrific bloating/acid reflux and uncontrollable eggy gas. It can go from a few days to months. I’ve had to be signed off work before because

Treating constipation hasn't affected the wetting accidents
Since being on
movicol
, he has more poo accidents than he ever had and his wee accidents are just the same, so it's like he is doubly incontinent now.

Question re Rusty Tea water showing disimpaction - how is this even possible?
Surely there has to be some bits of food/poo that is made from the food they are eating alongside the
movicol
?

Movicol and Soiling
She has been on
movicol
for about a week and it has helped to soften her stool and she is going more regularly. Now it doesn't hurt she is not as worried about going so isn't holding it. However she has begun soiling herself. Now it is like she doesn't know when she needs a poo.

Is there a shortage of the plain Movicol in the UK?
We ended up getting lemon and lime as pharmacist only had that and chocolate. Son can detect the flavour so is not drinking as much as he should. Can see him refusing as I have to increase the dosage.😭 Is the plain one really flavourless?

Physical (not behavioural) causes for constipation?
. 😕 My daughter’s
movicol
dose has rapidly doubled, we’re back to toilet sits after breakfast and dinner yet she’s started to soil again, and we just seem to be swinging between big piles of normal looking poo, mush and then nuggets again.

things that help NAFLD
All these help with brain fog, bloating, gas, stomach pain and help to open your bowel too and well as the most natural thing liquorice, yes liquorice, the doctors tried everything to help a friend giving her tablet after tablet,
movicol
etc and nothing working until I told her about the liquorice, now

How to tell if it’s overflow poo?
If that’s the case, I was wondering if a stimulant such as senna might be beneficial, we’ve never used one before as the disimpaction,
movicol
and toilet sits seemed to manage it.

Movicol help (again!)
I have taken a sachet of
Movicol
every night for the past 7 years after a rectocele repair and hysterectomy. On top of the IBS I've suffered from for 30 years, the need to take
Movicol
is the bane of my life because it exacerbates the IBS symptoms.

Incomplete evacuation and straining
I resort to
Movicol
and herbal laxatives once or twice a week. Has anyone any useful tips from experience about how they overcame straining? It's so hard to think of other things with terrible abdominal pain which disappears instantly if I manage to have a bowel movement.
