Fibrogel, sennecot, or glycerol suppositories are a good bet! You could also try prune juice (ack ack but does work).

I wish i could say the same Emma........ My bum hasn't stopped going twice a day (at least) since Saturday night! I'm scared to leave the loo never mind the house

I hope you find something that shifts your blockage real soon xx

I so know how you feel Emma. Constipation has been a real problem for me since my op and in all honesty nothing much has helped. I try and have a fibrogel drink daily to keep things moving. I have also taken sennacot which usually gets it going!

My restriction has loosened a little bit so I am able to eat a bit more which has made a massive difference to the "movements".

Hope you find a solution soon x

I can certainly vouch for the prune juice (yum! lol) but I was advised not to use Fybogel post-op as it can swell in the pouch and cause discomfort, or even vomiting.

Thanks everyone, i have the urge to go today, yay BUT the water is turned off due to the boiler being fitted, talk about sods law!!!

Am squeezing these cheeks

 

[angie790]

OMG, don't hold it in, lol!!!! I'd go anyway if I had to & just make sure I was the first the leggit into the bathroom to flush when the water was back on!

Hi, I found Senna or Senokot to be the best for getting things moving, they are also available on prescription

I was given Movicol you can buy it over the counter but much cheaper on prescription.If you take it 3 times a day for the first while then take it once a day it will keep you regular and i'm talking from experience i'd be lost without it x
