I have never had frequent bowel movements - usually every 3 or 4 days.
Over the past few months it seems to be getting worse, 7-8 days sometimes. . I was prescribed Lactulose by the doctor, but tbh it didnt seem to make much difference, and I was having to take it 3 times a day just to go every 5 or 6 days..
Last week I was prescribed Movicol,twice a day but having been taking it for a week now I still havent been to the toilet, and have even tried the Lactulose too, as I'm starting to get desperate.
I feel so uncomfortable and bloated its unreal. I'm getting married in under a fortnight, and this is the last thing I need at the moment.... at this rate I cant even see my dress fitting.
Has anyone got any tips/suggestions/anything at all really. Like I said, I really am desperate now. Am thinking about colonic irrigation, but cant see that making a difference if its further up.
Please help.
