Constipation- nothing works!

[Boxingshibes]

I've been constipated for 20 days now!
I've been taking senokot for the last 12 days and Movacol twice daily for a week.
I even tried glycerine suppositories over the weekend.
Nothing!
What else can I do?
It's really uncomfortable and I have a pain in my side.
Aibu to this one of these should have worked?

California sunsweet prune juice. Drink a litre of that and you will be shitting like nobodies business.

Good old Andrews is brilliant.

Prune Juice. Dont have too much though as its quite effective. I didnt read the label and downed a pint of it. Didnt taste very nice but by crikey it worked. It worked too damn well as I was up until 3am because I dared not go to bed.

If it's been 20 days, suggest you download a good film on your ohine ot take a good book to the toilet. And a wooden spoon. You'll need the handle to bite on as you attempt to pass an absolute snozzcumber.

I saw something online about 200ml of prune juice + 4 tablespoons of butter, heat it up in the microwave and drink it.

Please report back!

OP is in A&E so won't be drinking any prune juice.

Lactulose!!! A shot an hour until the inevitable I promise you it will work!

I wondering how long people will be saying prune juice/sweets/andrews. At least another 24 hours i think
RTFT

I’m so glad you went in, @Boxingshibes . Wishing you all the best 💐

Sugar free sweets. Diet ask me how I know this.

Also syrup of figs.

Swear by both - better than dynamite!

Please update us OP when the matter has been resolved. 💐

Dismimpaction with picosulfate or movicol

Leave all the medications alone for a week and try the old methods. Personally tinned pear is known as the bomb in my house. I have had a lot of surgery over the last few years (16+ operations) and it blocks you up afterwards. The only thing that works is one whole tin of pear per day. It doesn't cause pain either. It just works gently. Add lots of water to your diet too.

I find these work really well

How are you getting on, OP? x

Sugar free Werther's. They have sorbital in them in place of sugar and it goes through you fast. Eat 4 or 5 to start with. I have 2 a day and they keep me regular.

Hi! I'd ring docs and ask for a telephone appt for lactulose; a medication to help with constipation. Google it, totally harmless and my savior during pregnancy and post partem!

Best wishes to you in hospital, OP, if you get a chance to read this.

This!!! I accidentally found this out! Sugar free Haribo gummy bears or the Aldi little foam fruit flavour gummies. Shitting through the eye of a needle for 24 hours!

Sadly discontinued. We are eking out an old tub and will miss it when it’s gone

Dulcolax! Take 4-6!

Thankfully the Op is now in hospital being treated
Seriously though a lot coffee the advice on this thread is down right dangerous
Super free sweets ,pears ,apple juice etc is not going ti help with impaction.
And could only make matters worse.

The Op didn't have a bowel movement for 2 0 days and you seriously think tinned pear will help??
Thankfully there are in hospital.

@Boxingshibes I'm glad you're in hospital. Constipation can be a very serious condition, even though it sounds merely inconvenient.
