i started having constipation around monday but managed to get some of it out on monday and tuesday and i think maybe a tiny bit on wednesday morning (very hard) then thursday and friday i couldnt use the toilet till i went to the doctor friday evening and got laxido. that evening i took 2 then had very soft stool but since then ive only had what i can describe as mushy but kinda watery toilet trips .( its currently 2pm saturday)
do i do the whole 8 sachets a day thing even though im only having mushy watery poos ? im not sure how laxido works or how long it takes to clear impactions because i think mine might be quite high up. is THIS the impaction clearing up? i saw something online about poos like this being able to go past impactions which is worrying me
btw i dont have much stomach pain besides a new pain on the left side near my rib
could use someones knowldge please

My view is that Laxido won't help and might make things worse. Impaction is probably causing the loose bits leaking around it. Ideally an enema should resolve it. Otherwise try a good dose of milk of magnesia. If carries on for more than a few days do seek professional advice. I know what a horrible thing it is.
I would follow whatever your Dr has told you to do. In my case it was 1 sachet twice a day. It can take a few days to righten itself. Also try drinking lots of water.
did you have an impaction? i currently sort of feel like theres something there that wont come out even after diarrhea, not sure if im imagining it but i didnt have this feeling before starting laxido
I was having very similar to you and was told to take 8 sachets over a period of 1-2 hours as it would give a good clean out of my bowels and it done okay but I had to stay close by the toilet as for most of the day I was having a lot of very loose motions - wishing you all the best
really 8 satchets within 2 hours instaead of 6 hours like it says on the paper? was it an impaction you had. today ive taken 5 so far and yesterday i took 5 and i have a feeling like when you regulary need to go to the toilet like that slightly full feeling that i didnt have before starting laxido but only diarreah or watery stuff comes out and the feeling is still there . unsure if its in my head
