Senna laxatives
My constipation is really bad and I've been taking fybogel and syrup of figs for thelast 4 days but I'm still struggling to go. .. was wondering if I could take senna now I'm nearly there? And was wondering why they tell u to avoid senna in pregnancy, I'm just getting so fed up with being so constipated

Loads of water, Movicol and lots of prunes helped a little. But found a natural item: Ortisan Fruits & Fibre - from health food shops. It is made from

Hi, my question relates to home thyroid test kits (advanced) are they accurate? More info re this choice of action below :-)
My mother has a thyroid condition, and some other female family members too, I've had loads of exasperating and worsening symptoms over last four years but my gp will only test TSH and FT4. My symptoms are constant and some of them worsen periodically. To name but a few, dry eyes, very dry skin on body

Does anyone suffer Constipation? Whats the best treatment?
Hi, I'm always constipated and I've tried eating extra fibre and eating more healthy but nothing seems to work, I saw my GP a couple of days ago and he gave me milk of magnesia and Senna tablets, nothing has worked yet (I'm impatient!) I was just wondering if anyone has found something that works good

Gastroscopy / colonoscopy on Saturday!
Thought I would blog today. I saw a GE (gastroenterologist) Consultant on 5 Feb. Didn't really feel that confident after the meeting. 20 minutes of talk, and then he dictated his letter to my GP for 10 minutes. Not had that experience before and over the last 3 years been going to the Nuffield Orthopaedic

Is Senna gluten-free?
We've been invaded by threadworms! Apparently 4:10 kids have them. I chose the OTC anti-worm medicine that had the least number of ingredients. My son, who was diagnosed as a coeliac last year became very unwell after taking the medicine. He started vomiting and got diarrhoea and the ambulance had to

Do steroids cause constipation?
Since starting on fairly high-dose steroids a couple of weeks ago, I seem to be getting constipated. Is there a link? Right pain if there is, having spent years getting chronic constipation more or less under control! If the steroids ARE causing the constipation, I can deal with that, especially
