Constipation

[zns]

Actually lactulose can not cause dumping, sometimes the preparations contain other sugars but usually not lactulose is not digested or absorbed by the body so cant cause dumping itself.

just want to aid things naturally rather than using movicol. So ive got myself some prune juice and weetabix - such a party animal

Will keep my fingers crossed! x

hopefully you won't need to cross your legs lol

 

[Deets]

If you are suffering take the movicol etc its much better than the pain etc and having to have an enema.

I agree, don't let yourself get to the impacted stage just for a want to avoid meds. I have had a hideous evening tonight as I got impacted, I have been in hospital for surgery since Wednesday and with everything going on didn't realise I hadn't 'been' since Monday, when I normally go daily. 2 enemas and a long time on the toilet (when I'm supposed to be staying laid down) and I've had some relief, but I don't half wish I'd taken something a few days ago! I figured as I was still passing wind I was ok, but nope, all of a sudden today i went downhill very quickly.

If it's compact and painful try the glycerine suppositories, you can buy them over the counter and they basically soften and lubricate things! Don't worry about dignity, after my last post I think mines gone too!

all movicol does is sort of line the gut so that the 'poo' slides down, it dosnt actually do anything that can upset your gut and bowels, whereas senokot etc make your bowel work, which is why you get caught short and have all the gripes etc, i was told by my doctor to take senokot only when absolutely necessary, and to use the movicol, i found if i put it in frut juice, (nas), it goes dwn a lot easier.

All has gone well today! So either a weird day or the movicol from last night helped! x

I find Movicol tends to work after 12 hours or more! Keep hitting the fluids Deets and hopefully you won't get into this fix again.........

........dignity? what's dignity?! LOL

Shelbel, sending lots of hugs and hope you feel much better today honey.

Hello all,

just wondered if anyone has suffered from constipation post op? If you did, how have you managed/improved it?

This is all so new to me...ive never had problems getting down to business!! Ive been so focused on getting my protein in, that everything else has taken a back step (eg fruit and veg).

My poor booty can't cope anymore so all advice gratefully received! :gen147:

Hi Deets,

I'm only a few days post op but I was consipated since before the operation.
I finally pooped today after having a small bottle of actimel.

Hope you find some relief soon xxx
