6 year old with chronic constipation. At my wits end.
He's taking
picolax
sulphate and movicol but today has been his worst day ever. He's screaming every time he has a bowel movement but is only really passing overflow. Even thinking of taking him to A&E tonight as he's in so much pain.

Hernia?
Another month later I was hospitalised again with constipation and vomiting etc and again just more and more
picolax
. I now take that at least every other day and the sharp right side pain has continued to impact my life. They are doing another op soon to see what it is.

6 year old with chronic constipation
They prescribe
PicoLax
as well as the movicol. Now I have a child who can’t stop spoiling again. My concerns are three fold: - she’s 6, she’s missing school and it’s so horrible for her to cope with. - her inability to feel if she needs to go or has been. - when all this will end!!?

fED UP AND PAINFUL
I have a sachet of
picolax
here do you think that it would be able to work on constipation to alleviate any residual constipation and take the pain away. This pain only stops when the bowel is empty and can go on for hours.

4 year old still in agony after 10 days. Not eating or drinking...help!
She was given
Picolax
eventually to clear her out because she wasn’t tolerating the fluids needed to take with laxido. She has now not eaten in 8 days and is drinking very little...says she feels sick and is still having these bursts of pain.

Bowel prep in two days but suffer from constant severe nausea :(
The first thing I saw when opening the leaflet (
Picolax
) is that is says Do Not Take If.... you feel sick! I’ve got to take the stuff twice and am so scared it will make me feel really sick or worse make me be sick. Also bowel movements bring on nausea for me anyway.

Day before first colonoscopy!
Am now on
Picolax
. Had my first dose at 8 this morning and it’s just started working so feeling fairly confident. Does anyone know if you can have skimmed milk , maybe a splash in tea or coffee? Not worried about food but would kill for a cup of tea!

Colonoscopy worry
I only found out about this when the letter and
picolax
came through the door yesterday and my appt is Monday. I’ve been in a state ever since. I have started the special diet but scared about taking the
picolax
and also about the procedure as I’m not having sedation.

Colonoscopy fears
Started the diet straight away but scared about the
picolax
and the procedure itself. What are your experiences and has anyone had it without sedation? Thanks

Picolax and vomiting? Help!!
Also from what I've read online most people only get given 2 sachets of
picolax
and I've been given 3?... I assume once your bowel movements start running clear on near enough that your bowel is empty, is this correct? Thanks in advance for reading and replying!!

Seriously bad acid stomach and heartburn, help!
I think mine may have developed as a result of vomiting on
picolax
before the op, followed by vomiting with viral meningitis after the op, plus antibiotics while they diagnosede for 3 days plus stress and anxiety since.

Wish me luck...surgery day tomorrow
I'm hibi scrubbed and now halfway through
picolax
. I'm due round 2 of pico at 7 and at hospital at 2 pm. Surgery is not scheduled till 5.30 and is meant to be 2 and a half to 3 hours so it's gonna be a long day. Due to stay 2 or 3 nights in hospital, so should be home by Friday.

One week to bowel op day... Getting nervous...
Think I'm reasonably prepared now, just need to go get sudocream and wetwipes ahead of my
picolax
experience! Started to get anxiety dreams a couple of nights ago though I'm trying my best to distract myself and not to think about it. I go in at 17.30. I wish the op was earlier in the day though.
