Laxido pain

[Shopnow1]

Anyone who has been following my posts will know that over 8 weeks been taking Laxido at high and low volumes to clear impaction. have not take any for a few days now but still in awful pain and extreme gas even though doing soft motions most days. feeling very unwell is this normal after using Laxido

I'm same, I take linoclotide for chronic constipation, I go several times each morning until I'm empty. I too am still in pain all day and night, I think it's caused by the colon being empty, but still goes into spasm with nothing inside it.

I am taking Laxido (1 sachet per day). I also have large amounts of gas, so maybe that’s normal - I wasn’t sure. I have been prescribed it for slow transit and will be taking it indefinitely. Are you perhaps supposed to be taking it long term?

I also take turmeric in tablet form every day I don’t know if that is making any difference, but I don’t have anything in the way of gut pain

Yes but cannot stand the pain ! I actually stopped taking it on Tuesday but still in tremondous pain even though passing full motions so pain not due to constipation . Even having a sip of hot water makes my tummy hurt !

Hmm….. Maybe you need to report this to your doctor. There may be something that’s a bit gentler on you stomach that you can take instead? Sorry not to be more helpful.

is it as painful taking the low dose as it is taking the low dose?

I have taken 1.5 sachets of Movicol (same thing), for the past 10 years because I have pelvic floor dysfunction and IBSC. It bloats me and is somewhat unpredicatble! It gives me narrow stools (although I'm not sure whether that's because of my tight pelvic floor!

Most days I need to go several times but only small amounts, and this leads to piles.

There is nor perfect laxative but this has been the lesser of several evils for me. Good luck!

Yes, unfortunately completely normal, always gives me awful gas and cramping and is completely unpredictable. Need to find something better
