Lazy bowel, girl age 7
My D is 7 and at school. She has always had problems pooing. Even from a baby. Resulting in a stretched bowel. At the moment she is on 2 sachets of laxido a day and 12ml of senna. We are still trying to find a balance. As she occasionally still gets blocked. Resulting in a hospital visit. As she starts

Just read article that Kefir (drink) is better than Probiotic yogurt for IBS and IBS-C. Does anyone take this..is it helpful for IBS, IBS-C?
Hi, I have severe and chronic constipation, and nothing helps..nothing! I have tried it all. My last options are 2-3 stool softeners a day (Colace), and Senna once a week on Sundays which is an excellent laxative. But it disrupts my life, I have been on once a week Senna for about 8 years. Stool softeners

TSH lower but still having many symptoms
I am at risk of developing hypothyroidism so have blood tests every year. It was 3.8 in July but my symptoms have been worse since my hysterectomy in July so she did it again. Only did TSH as that's all she would do and it is now 3.2 so classed as normal by my gp. I am struggling so much and really fed

Senna cause bedwetting ? Surely not
After reading so much bad stuff about movicol ..... after 4 years of our son being on it ...... we got it down to half a sachet every 2 days and 2.5ml senna on the alternate days. So we now give 2.5ml senna only every 2nd day. For 5 nights our son has wet the bed. But is pooing fine Is it at all poss

Encouraging 3.5 year old to use unfamiliar toilet
Hi all! My daughter is doing well after recent disimpaction following potty training constipation. She is on Movicol & when at home goes in the toilet. However she has an anxiety with using any toilet other than the one at home so if she needs to go when we are out she withholds. I’m particularly concerned

Dang! I need sympathy!
Feeling rubbish today, and the slight hill required in taking the dog on a short walk make me as breathless as when I was a smoker a long time ago, but that stopped fast when I gave up smoking. My latest blood test indicated anaemia so I'm guessing it may be that. Taking a multivitamin which includes

3 year old possibly with holding at nursery - any tips?
Hi! My lg has recently finished a disimpaction regime as she had constipation linked to potty training. She is doing brilliantly...doing 1 poo a day at home (a few accidents but mostly in toilet/potty) & seems to recognise when she needs to go. However she is reluctant to poo anywhere but at home and

Post TAH BSO and bowel dissection Constipation meds’?
Does anyone here take Sodium Docusate and Movicol together? My surgeon likes SD but post chemo before this surgery I have always taken Movicol (oncologist) They work in different ways. Is it possible to take small doses of both? Very grateful for all advice

Slow Transit, recurring prolapse and rectocel
I wish to know if anybody has a good management advise/ option or good doctor for slow transit colon in Sydney NSW. I came back from test result review of transit study with no good advise. Life time decades of chronic contipation and it is not because of doctor's favorite fulid, fiber, excersie...etc

Residential? Holistic care?
Hi, I’ve posted before so you may be aware that my son is coming up for 12, he’s had chronic constipation from a very young age. Currently on 9 movicol a day, 10ml dulcolax and 10ml senna with sporadic disimpactions. We’re ‘used’ to this game, daily accidents usually at least 3-4 a day, endless streams

Overflow soiling
Ok so we been battling to find a maintenance dose for over a year now. I'm convinced one doesn't exist. Even one sachet of movicol causes looseness but if we stop or go to half she's backed up again! So at the moment we are just using senna and movicol every other day or so. But we can't establish any
