Urgent! What works for chronic constipation to the point I simply can't go?

[Pixiedust1973]

Not been to the toilet for over a week now. Got to the stage where I cannot eat. Nothing is working I have tried exlax chocolate, suppositories, laxido (8 sachets) & dulcalax pico pearles plus lots of water. The out of hours GP prescribed the pico pearles last night & I took them about 10 1/2 hours ago as well as the max dose of laxiod again & suppositories. Supposed to work within 6 to 12 hours, still nothing.. What else can I try? I don't want to spend Christmas day on the toilet or unable to eat. :(

@MarinPrime yeah I have read the thread 🙂 why I wanted to know her updated sitch. Taken an enema but still impacted 🙄

[MarinPrime]

Hey @Pixiedust1973 has been any movement??

Good grief, after 7 years I would hope so.
Fullofit - if you read the thread, you'll find lots of information there.
Or you could start your own thread.

Hey @Pixiedust1973 has been any movement?? I know it’s years on but I’m in a similar position now ☹️

Oh, so glad to read that you finally had a poo and didn't explode :) Its good to get some furhter investigation just to be sure.

Many congratulations on the forthcoming nuptuals - i don't think i have ever been so invested in someone else's bowel movements and was gutted when this thread fell off my active list. Thanks for updating OP x

(oh, sorry, & good luck with wedding & everything, you deserve to start having a nicer time )

[TheOneWithTheNicestSmile]

OP, have rtft (honestly ) but can't remember all the details, sorry

So, I don't know if this is of any use, but my DD who has IBS (though has only recently tried to give up gluten etc completely) started taking \link{http://www.amazon.co.uk/Acidophilus-Bifidobacteria-Probiotics-Supplement-Intolerance/dp/B0096BW8YK/ref=sr_1_6?s=drugstore&ie=UTF8&qid=1389470883&sr=1-6&keywords=Probiotic%5Cthese&tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21 probiotics} a week or so ago, & from endless horrible cycles of constipation/diarrhoea (mostly constipation, she got through tons of senokot) has entered a magic world of comfortable regularity - she is amazed!

[livelablove]

Glad you are well, if not completely recovered. Hope all goes well with further investigations.

[helzapoppin2]

Wishing you all the best for those wedding preparations!
I've been married 31 whole years, so wish you all the love in the world!

[CadleCrap]

Hi Pixie when I was having issues I was referred to specialist who took my history etc He referred me for gynae scan as well as flexi sigmoidoscopy. This is where they stick a magic eye up your backside and have a look on the camera. Sounds bad I know but worth it for reassurance etc and usually means you don't need an aesthetic which is a plus! I imagine your case will involve something similar but guess its different from place to place;-)

[CuntyBunty]

I am glad you are still with us. I was imagining all sorts. Phew!

[princessalbert]

Thanks for the update pixie. Hope that this does resolve- and you get back to how you should be feeling.

[Pixiedust1973]

Hello, Sorry for forgetting to update. Thanks for the PM Lilliput. :) Things have been moving along reasonably well but I went to my GP on 2nd January to see if the blockage was completely cleared. He said he can still feel something so has referred me for further investigations, what this will involve who knows? In the meantime I am feeling fine apart from still having the chronic pain & needing the codeine so am taking Laxido regularly to ensure things don't get as bad as they were. Am going to Wales this weekend with my Fiancé (his family live there) to go to wedding fairs & see potential venues. All very exciting. Thank you everyone for all your lovely & sometimes quite funny posts which really cheered me up during what was a horrible time. I will endeavour to update the thread when I have more news. :)

[Lilliput]

No nothing yet.

[ILoveGlyfada]

Lilliput has op replied? Just concerned about her, hope she is ok.

[gussiegrips]

PM? Poo Mover?

[Lilliput]

I couldn't stand the suspense any longer so have sent op a pm!

[princessalbert]

Same here.

[howmuchworse]

I reckon so too. Shame, I was interested to know if/how it was resolved.

[tribpot]

I'm guessing the OP forgot to come back and update this thread, hoping all okay.

[butterfliesinmytummy]

Thinking of you op, hope you're ok.

[CadleCrap]

Still nothing??

[EasterHoliday]

any news?

[Theonlyoneiknow]

Hope all ok OP
