New regime Dulcoease and Movicol

[Shopnow1]

Ok so had a horrendous impaction which has gone on three weeks now and two trips to A&E . Am now in a postion where only the right side of my bowel is full and told to take dulcoease three times a day and one Movicol if nothing happens after two days . Second day as yet nothing so has anyone else used this combination ? Getting fed up now and thank you everyone for previous replies

No I haven’t tried that combination.

I was told to take 8 Movical daily for 3 days.

Have you ever tried milk of magnesia? That works like magic for me I always use it after surgeries as that really backs me up with all the pain killers but milk of magnesia makes me go without fail. The instructions to use as a laxative are on the bottle. I hope something helps soon

I’m also in a state hadn’t been to the toilet for 2 weeks , I’ve taken dulco ease lactolouse also dulcalax I’m cramping really bad and only passing a little liquid. So fed up with it all

You will need more than one movicol a day as you won’t get very far taking he one

The impaction dose for Laxido is 8 sachets that must be taken within a 6 hour window. One laxido won't make any impact....and it might take a day or two to show ant results.One will do nothing.Read the instructions for impaction on the laxido and follow them....but one won't do anything.

Hi

8 Laxido a day for at least 4 days. It works eventually.

Then you can take 1 or 2 a day after that if needed, so the problem doesn’t become so bad again.

Hope that helps!

Sorry to hear about your problems. Dont know if this is of any help to you but when is had my 3 months of chemo, going to the loo was dreadful, I tried various meds/foods etc but then I read somewhere that liquorice is beneficial so I found some sugar free liquorice in The Factory Shop whilst looking round one day. Started with 3 small pieces 3 times a day for 2 days, then down to 2 and finally just one piece. This really saved me and now if I ever cant go I take liquorice again. Worth a try for you instead of taking meds. Hope you get relief soon. x
