At the two week recovery mark I was met with extreme severe pain like electric stabbing on right hand side. I have been told its faecal impaction and also

What is your preferred remedy for constipation? 🤔 🤔 🤔
I have suffered with the dreaded constipation almost all my life. I am currently prescribed Docusate Sodium capsules. Unfortunately they are not working any longer. I am suffering and don't know what to try next. I am on iron tablets, which I've been told do tend to make one a lil constipated anyway.

Fecal impaction after hysterectomy?
Fecal impaction after hysterectomy. I’m in 3 phosphate enemas a day and ten senna tablets a day. Morphine for pain. Had moviprep and no benefit seen. Waiting for mri scan results. Not sure if nerves have been impacted by the surgery. It’s been six weeks now and quite exhausted.

6 year old withholding stool
My 6 year girl is currently withholding her stools which is the second time this has happened. However this time is far worse, she hasn’t been in 5 days (wasn’t much when she went) and before that it was 5 days too. We were giving movicol and lactulose which was making her soil and she eventually went

Increased fibre causing extreme constipation and abdominal pains
I have had a somewhat unhealthy diet most of my life (fast food a few times a week, not so many veggies etc). I decided to change my diet completely and quite drastically incorporated a lot of fruit and veg into my diet. I went from an average of 10g of fibre a day (no issue with constipation) to 25g

Senna
Hi, Could any tell me, am in the UK, is Senna Overnight the right kind to use for kids? It looks like there are several types from their website, but when I asked the pharmacist for Senna this is the one he gave me. Does anybody have any idea?!

First colonoscopy prep
Hi, I have my first colonoscopy Tuesday to check out what I’m hoping are just hemorrhoids. For prep I have to take 4 Dulcolax or Senna tablets in addition to 17 capfuls of Miralax. I’ve read horrible reviews about severe pain, nausea and shaking on Dulcolax. Senna sounds painful too but not as bad.

End of the line with treatment?
Hi all, My son has had constipation issues since he was 6 months old and is about to turn 10. It also became apparent that he has bladder issues since about the age of 4 or 5 as well. We are at a reasonably good place with the constipation largely under control with a good routine, diet, water and probiotics

4yr old struggling with knowing when he's poohed.
Hi! My 4yr old has had issues with his bowels since he moved onto solids at months old. He never did one pooh, and as the months went on would often pooh 10-15times a day. We went to the GP and were prescribed Movichol to help him pooh. This did help but as he's got older his issues have changed. His

extreme constipation?
so it’s been about 10 days since I’ve had a bowel movement. I’ve taken 10 stool softeners today, three prune lax, A cup of senna tea and one Ex-Lax. i’m getting urges to go but I literally can’t push it out. It’s like a sharp pain and I can’t sit up or walk. It hurts so much. Am I going to be OK? Will

Docusate in oral solution
Hospital sent me home with this as tablets not available. I tried one mouthful and it excoriated my tongue and throat as if I'd poured acid down my throat. Daren't try it again. Anyone experience of this? Am I supposed to dilute it further? Leaflet doesn't say so. Candy x

Constipation
I had ablation 2 months ago. So far successful. However I am on amiodarone and other drugs which make me constipated. Does anyone know of a laxative that is compatible with amiodarone. Senna and other derivatives are said to be incompatible in the leaflet with amiodarone

Constipation
I’ve had on off constipation/diarrhoea most my life ( I’m late 20’s) and for the past year I’ve suffered from chronic constipation for which I’ve tried movocol, senna, cosmocol, picolax, dulcolax, the list goes on. When going to the doctors they just want to give me more medicine which I’m reluctant

Prolonged use of senna (senokot)
My son is 9, has mild cerebral palsy and has had chronic constipation since he went onto solid food. In March he began a programme of a daily senokot dose to shrink his 'baggy' bowel. This worked well for a while but the last couple of months it's stopped working and I feel his constipation has actually

Can you get impacted again even when on a movicol maintenance dose?
My daughter has been suffering from constipation for a year. In May we went through our third disimpaction routine. As part of it we kept her on a very high dose of movicol as well as Senna for a month. Then slowly slowly we brought it down to 4 sachets daily. In the last week or so, she’s been unable

When does tummy go down after lap?
Hi everyone. I had a laproscopy exactly one week ago (21st september) to look for endometriosis. My surgeon was one of the best skilled ones from the nancy nook list as I felt more comfortable this way and it was more reliable. Before surgery I used to get bad bowel pain every morning before going to
