Hi all iv Manged tp kinda go toliet but still conspation iv taken 4dioctyl and on my second molaxole how ever gp said only take one molaxole but that isn't working for me any advice if uv taken these medicines

[M-star]

I don't know which laxatives they are but I've been taking 4 Laxido (macrogol) per day and 4 Docusate sodium. This is day 3 and on day 2 of this concoction, my insides fell out my arse 😂 today was even worse! Gonna have to drop the dose.

[Ella1992 in reply to M-star]

Nothing like that for me I definitely think something more than ibs is wrong

[Ella1992]

That stuff is doing absolutely nothing for me yet how long does it take

[M-star in reply to Ella1992]

It wasn't until day 3 of taking all that that things got moving. But you need to drink around 3 litres of fluids a, day with them.

Hi Ella, I was diagnosed with ibs-c in 2012 & have tried just about everything the gp could give, had camera s & scans colpermin helps calm my stomach when it's really bad but the constipation & bloating was terrible, I have been prescribed 1 laxido in a morning & 1 ispaghula husk sachet in evening , have been taking these for about 6 weeks now & 🍀🤞all seems good been to toilet every day after first couple of days & wind & bloating gone too, usually any meds are good for a couple of weeks & then back to normal so I am hopeful that these sachets are my miracle 😁🍀🤞

I had a toliet how ever I was expecting loads but this wasn't the case so I'm guessing maybe it's working it away through? So could this mean I have blockage

[Ella1992]

Would having nother molaxole harm me as it says one daily but maybe one isn't enough to fully empty

Hi ella, my constipation is caused by wheat products and fructose. Have you gone on Low Fodmap diet? I suggest you do if you have not.

[Ella1992 in reply to Pajarorose]

Iv seen that fodmap diet how ever over Christmas I was fine I was able to enjoy sweet stuff but I eat normally yes I do eat take aways every now and then as well all do

[Pajarorose in reply to Ella1992]

Then why are you here?

[Ella1992 in reply to Pajarorose]

Well isn't it obvious why I'm hear

[Stressedoutwoman]

one movicole a day does nothing for me im same take stuff go a tiny bit if you had a blockage would be just liquid getting through

I take 3 movicole then it takes about 3 days to kick in also take a fibre supplement tab everyday and a kiwi and an orange try a glycerin suppository to get things moving

[Ella1992 in reply to Stressedoutwoman]

I got these Thursday took one Thursday one Friday and 2 today and not really nothing really

[Ella1992]

Morning all sorry for the update iv finally had a bowel movement this morning it wasnt dry so clearly that stuff is working but it was small but I'm guessing it the laxative witch are breaking it down so I'm gonna carry on taken these for the time being anyways hope I can have a good day today without conspatied x
