Chronic Constipation Frustration
Every so often I'll do a disimpaction with
picolax
. He is soiling on a daily basis, often 3-4+ times a day and cleaning his underwear is exhausting! The trouble is, he just doesn't seem bothered by it. Tried incentives, rewards & charts, I've ended up in tears many a time.

Movicol problems
Started last summer and saw specialist after a few months who prescribed
picolax
and senna to disimpact in December. This seemed to work and she had almost no soiling for 2 months, with no medications, however a few weeks ago it started again.

Moviprep or Picolax
I now have to have another colonoscopy on Friday and I've been given Senokot and
Picolax
. What I'd like to know is which one is the most gross to take.

First Colonoscopy
I was sent 2 packets of
Picolax
(a strong laxitive) to take 6pm the evening before and 6 am the morning of. This stuff basically cleans you out completely, by the time you are basically having the procedure you are just passing water.

Ct virtual
Hi as they couldn't complete the colonoscopy due to pain I'm now having a virtual ct It's taken a week for diahorria to stop from
picolax
so am very concerned of taking it again in 4 days plus the other dye stuff 3 times If the air was too painful before why will this be different?

Picolax taking a while to work
Can
Picolax
take more than a few hours to work? I have a colonoscopy procedure tomorrow and have been given two sachets of
Picolax
to take to 'flush' me out, so to speak. I took one at 17.30 tonight and had a very small bowel movement two hours later.

Why don't doctors listen?
If you take
picolax
your bowel will kick start and you'll be fine". Then he came out with I need to be eating soluble fibre not non soluble and to make sure I understood, as if I was daft he wrote it down as 'soluble tick non soluble cross!!'

Anxiety, Constipation........
I took a
picolax
sachet this morning and thought I must be near a toilet all day as they can be quite evacuating. Success in movement but not as much as normal. And now I have a bit of headache, can't win. Does anyone else have experience of
picolax
?

Treatment
But unfortunately I have had severe constipation so off I went for an X-ray and she said I need to clear the bowel before I can start my treatmen, so I have had 3 sachets of
picolax
2 Dioctyl and I have at least a tin of prunes that I absolutely hate.

Bowel Prep
Last time I had
Picolax
and was unable to eat the day before. My surgeon advised that he would be unwilling to operate near my bowel without this. In response to this she said if there are any issues they will ring me the day before surgery.

Picolax
Hi just wanted to know of people's experiences with this. How long did it take to have an effect? Are the cramps really bad? Etc any advice is greatly welcomed.

COLONOSCOPY PREP. TO EMPTY BOWEL
My problem is I am very, very allergic/intolerent to the potions (
picolax
/moviprep). I have a violent and chronic reaction which is absolutely horrendous. It's much worse than most people experience. The last time I had to take the prep.

Expectations
So here I sit in my hospital bed, I've just drank my first sachet of
Picolax
and now I wait..... I've been told my surgery should be in the morning, I'm the only person my consultant will be operating on so hopefully there won't be any delays.
