My mum suffers terribly from constipation - she only goes to the loo maybe once every 2-3 weeks and it's making her miserable.
She's had all kinds of stuff from the doctor, glycerine suppositories, lactulose, movicol, fybogel etc etc etc and nothing helps.
So we were talking and wondering whether her having a colonic irrigation would help.. what concerns me tho is that she's 80.
Is it something that would be worth a try do you think?
