Finally getting some relief from the burning in my rectum!
I use 1
senokot
8.6mg and 1 stool softener at bedtime. It does the trick. I can’t believe how much better I feel and all the things I can now do. This may not work for everyone but it is worth mentioning it to your primary health giver IE: your family doctor.

Maintenance dose issues
I have read before that using
Senokot
can help alongside the Movicol but I am confused as on all the websites it says you should not use it for more than a week? If anyone has ever been in this situation or has any advise about the maintenance dosage I will be so grateful!

Ultrasound coming up
So I have been using
Senokot
S to keep things moving. Am I correct to think that cautious choices and small appetite can settle a liver flare up? I did get a call from my rheumy and she has ordered an ultrasound. Will that show here what she needs to know if there is a valid concern regarding PBC?

Prescription query?
Having finally cleared out my daughter we have been told to give her daily doses of
senokot
and sodium picosulphate - i thought these were both laxatives doing much the same thing - it seems a bit overkill to me and we've been told to drop the movicol and use these instead simply because they said start

5 year old daughter won't poo on toilet
We've had Movicol, Lactulose and
Senokot
in varying combinations. She refuses to eat anything with any semblance of fiber in (eg. dried fruits, brown bread etc) - the only thing she will eat that helps any is grapes but she can't live on them!

Senokot and Movicol Dosage, worked, and now not....
We've also been through a variety of different medicines such as movicol, some sulphate one (to which the proper name now escapes me) and now
senokot
.

What to do about Movicol side effects (wind and loud rumbling noises)? Help, worried about my 6 year old in school because of it :-(
I have a 6 year old who has been on Movicol, and then
Senokot
for around two years. The movicol is making her windy, and on occasion her tummy makes loud rumbling noises. I was thinking about giving her only the
Senokot
every night, except when I looked it says it's for short term use.

Cirrhosis
My mother has to take 3 lots of lactulose and 2
senokot
tablets every day as if she doesn't go to the toilet she is off the scale. My mum has now gone into long term palliative care as we were unable to cope at home. It is heart breaking for us all as she is only 71.

A little help with my Ibs
I take Buscapan for the tummy cramps, Imodium for diaorreah and
senokot
for constipation. All these tablets can't be helping. I now have developed a burning pain and grumbling in the tummy. Have had blood tests even the CA125 which is the ovarian cancer one. All clear.

PLEASE PLEASE HELP! Endo/pcos/ibs
Recently I've been very constipated and even though I'm trying to eat healthy (lots of fibread and natural sugar) to get things moving, also taking
senokot
. But what is worrying me is that the pain isn't like normal where is just general abdo pain.
