Chronic constipation then very loose .

Hi all, I've just had 3 days of being completely blocked but finally having had blocked the toilet up and finding relief my stomach is bloated and now i can't stop going. Does anyone else suffer this way. I did take several laxido to soften stool, along with green veg, prunes and apricots. I suffer more when on my period. I hate IBS which is getting worse has I'm getting older.

Laxatives can give me diarrhea. Also the last time I had prunes I couldn't get to the loo in time.

Do you take a Laxido everyday? Or did you just take a several sachets to get you moving?

Hi. I used to take one a day but lapsed cos i was going regular. Every month i tend to get bunged up all of a sudden. On this occasion i took 2 satchets in the morning and 2 in the evenings. I've just bought some siliocol gel. My guts are bad

Ok. I take Laxido everyday. Before I was put on that, I was suffering with such bad constipation, that I would eventually “explode” with terrible diarrhoea. I wouldn’t accept that I was actually constipated, because I would have diarrhoea because of it! I started on two sachets a day, which ended up being too much. I lowered it to one a day and sometimes I will take one sachet one day and a half the next. You’re better to take it regularly, otherwise you will keep having to go through this. You could try a half sachet a day? Xx

Thanks, i didn't think of having half a satchet 😄
