What will happen if I take another senna?

[littleblackno]

I promise this is not a weird poo thread. I have been badly constipated since Thursday. I have tried all the usual things that I do when this happens but I haven’t been this bad for years.
I have been for walks, drank loads of water, fruit and veg, bran flakes.
I took a senna tablet this morning. 6 hours later and Only a small one, which may well be overflow (tmi sorry).
I am sooooo uncomfortable. Bloated, in pain, tired as I haven’t slept properly, starting to feel a little nauseous.
What will happen if I take another senna tablet? I’m happy to stay near home if I need to (I am anyway).
All advice welcome.

Ask the pharmacist for Lactulose. That really works. Took it when I had chemo. Warning, though, don't start immediately on the max dose no matter how bad you think you are. I did, and it was far too much!

Jenna works by irritating the bowel to cause it to pass the poo, so you might have a cjanc3 if a tummy ache and still no poo.

Lactulose softens the poo, and movicol suspends extra fluid in the bowel, so either are generally better options for constipation.

Ok thanks for that. I think I’m going to have to head out now and find one that’s open. And also somewhere that sells prune juice as I haven’t been able to find any.

I would say movicol would be a better choice.

Glycerine suppositories can also help.

I have taken everything I could buy- limited as the pharmacy was closed.
I’m waiting for an explosion. If nothing has happened to tonight I may have to go for some suppositories 🤢
