Severely constipated what next?
I've been slightly constipated for weeks until 8 days ago . Then I just stopped. Been in severe pain since and tried every laxative. Been to doctors and she put me on docusate sodium. Now I'm on molaxole powder and having 8 sachets in 6 hours for faecal impaction. Still nothing at all. I'm in pain now

Flecainide side effect I hadn’t expected!
I have finally had to give in and start taking Flecainide albeit at a low dose with a larger dose as a PIP option. I had very slight dizziness for the first couple of days which soon wore off and there is nothing else of note apart from the fact that I have started with quite pronounced constipation

8 year old constipated for 5 weeks
Hello everyone, I'm hoping you can all offer some advise etc...My 8 year old boy has been suffering with constipation for several years and I would give him lactulose to help him when he was backed up and he would pass a stool once a week. Lately it is getting harder to unblock him, the last time he

IBS or something else?
I've had constipation problems for as long as I can remember but in the last few years it has got a lot worse. I have seen my GP several times,had my tummy examined,stool tests,blood tests and a scan all coming back normal,apart from the discovery of gallstones,which my doctor dismissed as being a problem

Gas and Laxido?
What stops me in my tracks, literally (another failed attempt to travel), seems to be gas that builds up that I just can't get rid of leaving me sometimes struggling to even think. (My wife is complaining she is unable to stop breaking wind due to some things she eats, I say be careful what you wish

Severe constipation, really painful
First time poster, please excuse me if I ramble! Sometime in 2011/2012 I had my gallbladder removed, originally it was meant to be keyhole surgery but they perforated my colon so it was quickly changed to open surgery. The result being I spent 3 days in ITU and another 4 in the high dependency unit and

Pain meds after surgery and thyroid meds
Hi I'm just this evening back from bilateral hernia surgery. They've given me a bunch of pain meds and I'm wondering if I should try (pain willing) and avoid them as best I can as I think I might have read somewhere here how they can affect thyroid or other blood markers? I've been given co codamol

leaking poo 🤦♀️
My daughter has a poo nearly everyday/every 2 days. She has a movicol every other day and her poos are soft and she has no problem passing them. The issue is she seems to leak poo in between so has stains in her pants and when I wipe her I can almost see it ready to leak again. The Movicol makes her

Constipation. A smooth number two makes my day!
Hello T-warriors I have constipation. It is genetic and also, I believe, due to high doses of antibiotics as a child. In essence, my digestion is skewed and it is hard for an easy number two! I also have a bloating belly and feel digestion grew more complicated taking senna tablets long term. senna

He sits on the toilet 5 times a day in his toilet routine His bladder and bowel nurse started him on senna 2 weeks ago. To start with 5ml then increase to 7.5ml. At 5ml we noticed no difference.

tummy ache
My 8 year old has recently upped her movicol from 1 to 2 sachets. She had been on a maintenance dose for about a year. She is now complaining of tummy ache after emptying her bowls this is usually in the evening until she goes to sleep so can be several hours and sometimes the following morning too.

Rectal prolapse
I take
senna
and
docusate
sodium but I still don't "go" every day, this morning was successful but first time for 4-5 days. Anyway has anyone had a rectal prolapse? Did it resolve itself (? Is that possible) or otherwise what treatment have you had / has it been successful?
