Hi, I’ve been very badly constipated for about a week now and I regularly get constipated so normally I can rectify it myself by drinking lots of water and taking a senokot (natural laxative) however this time I’ve had no luck so called the doctor today and he prescribed me cosmocal (basically same as laxido I presume) over the phone which I picked up from the pharmacy and I’ve taken a few sachets throughout the day but it has given me nothing but diarrhoea. Is this normal? Getting really concerned there is something more serious going on like a blockage but I’m worried because it’s not like I can go to the doctors or hospital for them to exam me with everything going on at the moment. I have no pain either just a bloating feeling. Thank you
