Movicol anyone?

[ditzyangeluk]

I have had constipation problems & found Movicol was recommended so got some from doc.

Just taken my first sachet ... :sign0137: It's disgusting!! And you have to have it with quite a bit of water in one go!

Does anyone else take it? Can I add it to a hot drink instead of with just water?

Can I do anything to improve the taste a wee bit - anything?!??! Anyone? :sigh:

When I worked in nursing homes, we used that a lot for the older folk, to improve the flavour we added it to sugar free squash.

Have you tried other options?

Syrup of figs is good.....one teaspoon per day should do the trick.

my daughter has idrolax which same stuff just a nicer flavour as she hated movacol we add squash to it and it tastes fine but dont use juice as it goes all minging!

Thought about Syrup of Figs as that may be more tolerable - esecially with just one teaspoon a day! I can't see myself having Movicol twice a day every day!! :sign0137: Mind you, it works!
