Constipation

Constipation can be a real discomfort. It passes, but you need to determine not to allow it to happen again

Best of luck.

Hi

I know how you feel, I had it for a while whilst I was taking Codiene Tablets, the sachets you have to take several times a day, have you tried  senna as well, I took them every evening once I had shifted ehat feels like a blockage and for that I doubled up but really you should speak with your GP Surgery if you can't use a supository yourself and the they will give you further support ongoing with prescriptions

Hope all gets going !

Thanks both of you, no movement after the laxido (although I need to take another one).  I tried 2 suppositories a while ago (one at a time), I then rushed to loo only to find only thing that came out was the suppository! I’m certain I put them in far enough? 

Hi 

I have looked on my box of laxido which the GP prescribed and it’s 4 the first day 6 sachets 2nd day and 8 on the 3rd if no response 

With the suppository you have to wait as long as possible ie at least 30 minutes!

keep trying

Thank you, doctor phoning soon 

Hi Browndog

I suffered from constipation when converting to pureed food.  About 4 days had  elapsed and despite lots of straining no   movement was  happening.  My GP and  local Pharmacist suggested Lactulose. £5.99 a bottle. Easy to take, tastes a bit syrupy.  After 2 days - oh what joy!!  Natural movements returned  and  no straining required.   Feel so m much better now that weight is off my mind.  Took small dose for a couple days and then stopped. All OK, but bottle is at the ready just in case.  Hope everything has improved with you by now - I have only just joined the group  but your comments resonated with me.  Good luck. Simon

Thank you, yes I took the laxido for a couple of days and then was relieved! Am eating a little better now so it hasn’t happened since thank goodness
