I have recently added Constella to my one and a half movicol sachet regime. (I have severe constipation). However my stools are now about a 5 on the Bristol Scale ie very sticky and small in size. Has anyone got any advice on this I eat a balanced diet.
Thank you.
Hi have you tried Lepicol? Might be worth trying just a thought for you.
I suggest a visit to your GP to get basic stool tests -this can tell you what the problem may be with your stools
An orange a day is good. Lots of water, exercise like waking every day, spinach for dinner.
Many thanks 82-1 I will try that.
I use Laxido sachets which I find work for me.
Thank you for your advice
I take Constella as well. I take it half an hour before food and within a few hours I am emptied completely. Even though they are loose stools which I don’t mind. Rather that than constipation. I take mine in the evening as I work in the day. You could try taking it closer to food as this makes it work better for me. Let me know if this helps.
Pat thank you for your reply. Do you take Constella with Movicol or just on its own?
