Thinking about using Senna - advice please
Hi all, My almost 5 yr old has been on Movicol for 2 years. We are on a maintenance dose of 1&1/2 paediatric sachets daily and getting on fairly well. I feel as though the Movicol makes them soft and easy to pass but creates so much poo! To the point where sometimes he will have a smear in his pants

Ondansetron caused constipation woes
Has anyone got a reliable way of coping with the constipation caused by the anti-sickness drug ondansetron? It is really making my life a misery while I'm on chemotherapy. I'm taking stool softeners and senna tablets but they don't work well and I just feel so sluggish and yucky when I'm in the grips

Just Got out of ER. Have to have surgery on hernias. Nervous. Has anyone had this done? Was Mesh used?
Hi, had severe pain and was taken to ER. Was diagnosed with several problems and feeling a bit overwhelmed. I know alot of these problems occur because of straining due to severe constipation. Unfortunately, Have to resort to a stimulant laxative as nothing else works. The Gastro does not want me to

Can carers give supplements
My elderly Mum who has vascular dementia has always taken supplements. But now she needs carers, more to make sure she has meals and to make sure she doesnt fall, her short term memory is affected and she gets a bit confused sometimes. We have changed care company and this new one is insisting that

Stopping medication
Hello, I have been on senna and Celevac for years now, and still experience terrible bloating etc. I’ve thought to myself does what I take even help? And is it worth going cold turkey and trying stopping what medication I take all together??

Meeting paediatrician advice please
My daughter has her first appointment with a paediatrician in a couple days time and after trying for years to get some advice regarding her constipation & uti issues I am now not sure what to expect. She is currently on 2 sachets of movicol a day & senna if she doesn't go which seems to be working ok

Constipation/continence issues in Wales
Hello, my daughter was prem, she took a day to do her first poo. She was OK for a bit, then developed colic, she had cranal massages which helped.

Kefir has really helped with chronic constipation
My son is almost 11 and we have been battling this for 9 years- I’ve posted before. He’s been on movicol but never knew when he needed to go and always leaked even though he wasn’t constipated. We added senna and that really worked to begin with - he started getting urges and there were less leakages

Problems persisting after enema
Hi, I’m new to the site. My son has just turned 9 and has been terribly constipated for months. He had issues with constipation from 2 and half but we gradually took him off movicol around the age of 7 as he seemed to have stopped needing it (under the guidance of hospital doctor). We noticed the constipation

Stage 2
We have had a review at the continence clinic and Benjamin is now drinking enough but is possibly constipated. He has been prescribed movicol and senna, which we will have to pick up next week now. He also has an alarm for night time that goes off if he starts to wet. He hates it and wants to wear

Senna +Triphala for heart patients
I have a couple of cardiac stents. I am badly constipated. Duphalac doesn't suit me as it causes much bloating and flatulence. I used to take a Senna + Triphala+ psyllium husk based laxative by Dabur ( I 'm in India) that worked wonderfully. But I'm told that Senna and Triphala interact with blood

Pelvic floor dyssynergia
Just read a worrying story in the Daily Mail about a young girl who developed Pelvic Floor Dyssynergia after taking Amitiptyline for regular migraine😱. Whilst I was told that Ami can cause constipation I was un-aware of any more serious conditions. I have noticed my 'bowel habits' change considerably
