I have had a problem with constipation for a few weeks. Didn't take anything for it, was going every 4-5 days or so (and the other complications that come with as a conseqence of that).
At the weekend, I took ducolax after not going for 9 days, it took two days and 3 tablets to get things moving and it was quite a horrendous experience. I had spoke to GP to get advice on it over that weekend and then saw the GP on monday to discuss the long term problem. She has given me 10 sachets of movicol (generic version) to take one a day. I have taken then from tues through to today (and two yesterday) but it is not working.
Can I take more than two? will it make me ill like the ducolax did or will it just make it easier to go to the toilet? I don't even feel like I need to go, so not straining, just don't need to go. I am eating plenty of fruit and vegetables at the moment and lots of water/herbal tea to help.
