Hysterectomy update
Hi, so I had my hysterectomy on Monday. It went well though when they opened me up they found things were worse than expected. The cyst had grown from 6cm in December to 12cm. The surgeon showed me photos afterwards, I couldn't believe how big it was. I don't understand how I could have had something

Fed up with pain
I haven’t been officially diagnosed with IBS and have been fine for months and in the last month have had a flare up.

Chronic constipation/Movicol
My four year old daughter had chronic constipation last year and from July 2021 she has been on Movicol everyday with Senna now and then. The problem is we can’t seem to get the dosage right for the Movicol! If she has one sachet a day she bungs up, two a day and she’s too loose! The doctor has said

Withholding help!
We are on our 5th day of maximum laxido sachets for dissimpaction for my 3 year old and she is still withholding constantly. So far, she will only poo when fast asleep and unaware. I keep trying to explain to the gp that maybe if she poos whilst awake, I can help reassure her it doesn't hurt and break

Constipation
Hi All I have IBS mixed and am constipated at present really struggling to know what’s best to take. I been taking Senna, Lactulose and Bisacodyl. However the senna and Lactulose too mild and can take days to work and the Bisacodyl can sometimes be a bit harsh and causes me to have the worst stomach

Alternative for Senna
I am unable to get hold of liquid Senna for my son. I was told it's actually a manufacturing delay and no-one knows when it will be back in. I've tried all of the pharmacies in my area on the off chance they might have some in stock but with no success. I spoke to the pharmacist at my doctor's and

Explosion
Hi So today was day 3 of no bowel movement, been taking 1 senna morning and night then also today took 5mg of bisacodyl. Around 8pm I had the worst stomach pain and cramps and had to run to the bathroom. Once I realised the plug (well that’s what it felt like) I was then like a tap, felt like my insides

Medication mixes
My 9 yr old son has been on the highest dose of Desmopressin for a year, and movicol and docusate sodium. We recently changed to both Pico sulfate, and Laxido, and he is now wetting almost every night. Does anyone know if it will be the new medication conflicting with the Desmo melts? Many thanks.

My almost 4 year old, has been signed off from the GP, as we seemed to have cracked the case of ongoing chronic constipation... She had movicol for a year, now on a v low maintenance amount & use senna a few times a week at a small dosage when needed. Some weeks - even months she’s so regular, goes
