Oh I’ve found my tribe.
I had the most e cruciating time two years ago and then last year but I appear to have got it sorted.
Like chalk up , I know far too much about this subject
Movicol/ laxido / cosmic ol are one and the same substance. They are osmotives. They bring water into the bowel so you need to drink a glass of water an hour. Water , not tea. A
Apparently ly we should be passing straw coloured urine every two hours for optimum health.
Now you can take muvicol, up to 6-8 sachets a day. I hadn’t been for a day..but I think I was well backed up as well, so look at it as a long term solution.
The day I couldn’t go, like you I was in agony, so I took 4 sachets o we the day , even one at bedtime with 2 Senna.
The next day, I went a little bit, but kept up with the muvicol and Senna until I had a proper bowel motion The next day
I then cut back on the movicol but still took one every day
Even though I was going every day I just didn’t feel like it was enough.
I changed my diet..like chalk up, I’m now 100 per cent gluten and dairy free , I never come off it..I’m never going back to those days again.
I used to get pain in my back ffs
I changed from breakfast omelette to homemade gluten free Oat muesli.
This has gf oats, quinoa flakes, any dried fruit I can find, any nuts brazils, walnuts, unsalted cashews, pistachios, seeds, linseeds, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds..which are also good for parasite removal. I’d recommend doing a parasite cleanse twice a year with black hulled walnut tincture, cloves Powder and Wormwood tincture
Then I top the muesli with fresh fruit salad and add almond milk or some kind of non dairy milk
This is a game changer
I now just take 1/2 movicol if needed maybe once or twice a week and 1/2 Senna the same
So don’t just get things moving for now..see it as a 6 month plan. It’s been just over 6 months for me and Now it’s more of a maintainance thing.
My Gp did a 5 week fast and went to the loo every day..we are sheddding all sorts inside, dead cells etc
The gf and df thing..so glad I did this. My dh doesn’t need hearing aids any more as his sinuses have cleared and if you do have an intolerance, it can create inflammation for pathogens to breed.
Hope that helps. My granddaughter doesn’t have a good diet, White and bland and she was put on a 6 month plan.
When I make my 1/2 sachet up , I put chlorophyll in and a vit c 1 gram tablet As well
It’s not u pleasant
Chlorophyll is the body cleanser.
There’s a school of thought that to be really healthy you should poop like birds, after every meal.
There’s something to be said about this.
When you think about it , you don’t want a lot of stagnant waste inside.
