@viking1 just a suggestion but I have a lifetime of constipation and every pill, suppository, enemas etc the best thing that I have ever used is Movicol it works no pain no blood no haemhorroids - available in chemist no script - is used a lot by elderly people in nursing homes as they often have problems because they are bedridden but please check is ok to use in your circumstances. Also have twigged after 60 years to drink a lot of fluid - not wild about water prefer it with a teabag or coffee in it - dehydration brings on the problem for me. Also I make sure I eat 2 dried figs a day - quite like the kalamta figs on a rope plus learnt to enjoy lots raw veg eg bag salad leaves from the supermarket.
