Constipation!

Yes I also got this on EC you can use glycerin suppositories and lactulose, which I did use. The lactulose can make you quite farty though  oddly I also got diahorrea on other occasions, it really messes with your digestive system x

Oh the joys! . Thanks for that I’ll pick up some lactulose x

Hi Mazz

I would add make sure you hydrate . Drinking plenty before and after EC it’s very dehydrating . I also used to make veg stock based soups like leek and potatoe so fibre and fluid up . Best of luck 

Thanks Margaret, trying to drink plenty, but the broth seems like a good way to hydrate and get some fibre on board. My husband loves making soup (or broth as he calls it), so I’ll put that on his to do list xx

Ah, the joy. I had that too, sometimes going six days with the back door remaining firmly shut. In the end they prescribed some laxative, but I only used it very sparingly because of the warning on the pack about the body becoming dependant on the drug. I also used, on occasion, the suppositories. 

Thanks a lot! I’m speaking to nurse today, so may see what I’m allowed to take! Hoping it passes (ha ha, see what I did there).

Hello so sorry this is going on. I can totally understand, when i was going through ec i experienced this and took movicol to try and help only a few times and this helped. Hope it gets better soon.
