Side effects of Gaberpentin
I have been taking 600 mg of Gaberpentin for several months and it has helped with my RLS. Unfortunately it seems to be causing severe constipation even though I have also been taking Senna which the doctor has prescribed. Has anyone else experienced this?

Advice after disimpaction
We have just finished a disimpaction and now Iām worried as my daughter (11 yrs old) has only done one small poo in 3 days. We went back to one sachet then two. Do we need more this quickly and do I need to get some Senna? Also can u buy Senna for children without a prescription as itās the weekend?

Does anyone take "Magnesium Citrate Calm" for severe and chronic IBS-C..has it helped?
Had to go yet again to ER for an enema for impaction/constipation. Doctor's office could not get me in, and they would have sent me to ER anyway. Have had "C" since childhood, but it became worse (my Digestive system shut down) after coming off cold turkey off prescribed Opiods. I was on the lowest dose

Medication - senna and celevac
Hello, I have taken senna tablets and celevac - methylcellulose for a number of years. I have taken these for constipation. Over the past year I have began to experience diarrhoea and constipation. I suffer from terrible flare ups where I am bloated for weeks/months. I have had no support from doctors

Worried following disimpaction
Wondering if anyone can help/advise me please? We completed a disimpaction with my son about 6 weeks ago and things have been really positive since; full poos on the toilet (some even self initiated!) none of the dark, sticky overflow soiling in between and just the odd accident but not overflow, more

Fearing a bowel obstruction
Hi girls. My poor mum yet another complication. We are fearing a bowel construction. It has been 2 weeks now since any movement. She is very weak in bed but still able to walk to the toilet to pass urine. She still is eating small amounts but we are mostly giving her smoothies full of fruit and juices

Day 7....help!
Hi everyone. We're now on day 7 of disimpaction. My 8yr old has been taking 12 sachets of Movicol (built up from 4) and started 3 doses of Docusate daily yesterday. It's not having much effect other than a bit of type 6 poo here and there. There's been no movement today. I'm getting more and more anxious

Sodium Docusate
Hi all! We started disimpaction on Tuesday and have been on Movicol 12 sachets for the last 2 days. We've now been prescribed Sodium Docusate as well. I'm not sure if it's a good idea. Anybody have any experience with it at all? Thank you x

Vaginal prolapse
Hi, Iāve just joined today. Iām 59 years old and Iāve had a prolapsed vagina for a few years, probably the result of giving birth naturally to 3 large baby boys. I was told by my GP after she examined me that I needed an operation on my vagina as there was a lot of loose skin, it would be cut away

Senna vs Sodium picosulfate
Hi - my five year old has been on Senna for a while to help manage constipation that is causing day wetting. We recently had an appointment at the Evelina that advised to up the Senna as her bowel is enlarged and pressing on the bladder. Unfortunately this higher dose is causing really bad tummy ache

Bowel shutdown
Hay guys, Recently had my bowels shutdown on me, nothing seems to want to get things moving. Tried senna and now on laculose but seems to be welded shut. Energy really rubbish and hair falling out again. Didn't do well on Eltroxin and gp wouldn't give me any levothyroxine so have missed a few doses

Growing up with chronic constipation (21yrold)
Over the years I was given all forms of
senna
,movicol,laxido,
docusate
and lactulose. Told all the usual info about eating more fibre/water/not too much processed food etc. Nothing I ate or drink seemed to influence or improve it at all, I was still chronically constipated.
