Constipation

I took two Coloxyl in the morning and two at night. It just got things moving a little.

Been walking at home. Yes dont want to be caught short !!!

No i didnt know that. All i did was look at directions up to 8 per day. I have  had 2 today, morning and night. Nurse suggested 2 morning and 2 night. Hmmmmm

Thanks hun xx

That was the second thing I tried. It worked better than the first but nowhere near as well as Osmolax.

Are you aware Movicol dose is to be gradually increased until bowel movement is established ? Always drink a lot of water with any product to relieve constipation.

When I had it worst during chemo, I took one in the morning and one at night. I also found it helped to walk but there can be a danger in that if you get caught short.

I have taken coloxyl and is fine as a stool softener to avoid tears and haemorrhoids but not with senna. I used to take senokot years ago as a purgative but not gentle like Movicol .They use it in nursing homes aspatients tend to be immobile and eat foods that lack fibre.

But that said I don’t know the origin/ extent of your problem so best go with medical advice.

Says to take 1 b4 bed, so hopefully i will be ok. I just cant find a balance.
Thanks @Sister

The coloxyl is fine but I've never taken it with Movicol.
