tmi bowels again

[sumayyah]

well i have had real problems with them this time, got the pysillam husks in capsule form ( couldnt bare the thought of drinking them ) and have had to up and up them, weight loss wasnt great this week ( then lost 3 lb the next day after "going" ) am now on 12 caps insted of 6 and its just not getting any better.

does anyone know of anything else that i could use ( senna just gives me horrendous cramps and nothing else ) as i feel so bad with it i could quite easily cry

Someone said about fig syrup once, apparently it works very well!

Apart from that I can't really help

 

[jennikay]

Oh, I found it: Boots.com - Shop -- Constipation in Adults

Good luck

I went to docs last week about it, got some movicol which basically moves it slowly out of your colon and its like drinking a lemon drink...more water to help you on your way...

My mum has movicol, apparently it's nicer than fybogel

Dulcolax hun but very close to the toilet cos they make thinks move!!!

movical is brill but pricey from the chemists and doesn't give you cramps.

hope you get sorted soon cos its awful x

 

[sumayyah]

ive boxes of pediatric plain movicol, maybe ill give a few of them a try

Seriously, i used to have two 2tsps of fibre 89 in a pint of water a day. Thought i was going to need a cork!

Movicol are brilliant, yes pricey but so worth it! no cramps, but Claire, if you have peppermint oil, i swear by it, hot water and peppermint, even peppermint tea! xx
