We went away last weekend - 2.5 hours away from home.
Stayed at a cousins house on Sunday and then took the dc to a well known theme park.
Sadly about 8pm Sunday night I got awful cramps and Spent the night on the loo with the runs.
As we were going out next day I took some Imodium - I wouldn't have done this had we been nearer home and not out for the day.
Anyway, all was fine.
Except I haven't done a poo since Sad
Since weds I have tried;
Syrup.of figs
Laxido sachets
Glycerine suppositories
And have just eaten some prunes
Help!
Have I done something to myself!?
What can I do?
I really dont want to bother a Dr with this, but am desperate now.
Feel very bloated and fed up
All I have passed this morning is mucus sorry
Anything else I could/should be doing?

Oh you poor thing. How about a glass of iced water drunk straight down in one go. Sometimes works for me.

Imodium is great at the time, but I never go for days afterwards, stomach gurgles a lot and there's a lot of wind. Sad

bonzo77 · 24/10/2015 13:40

Yup. I get the same with Imodium. How much laxido did you take? I'd take 2 now with about an extra pint of water. Then 1 later and 1 at bed time again with lots of water. Normally get things moving by the next day, then I'd take 3 tomorrow and taper off till back to normal.

Badders123 · 24/10/2015 13:40

Thanks sparkling
I think what's worrying me is that I'm taking so much and its still not working iyswim?
Sigh....
I have one more laxido to take them I will have taken 6 since yesterday
I don't think I can face more prunes Envy

If it was me I would head for McDonalds and have a burger. They give me the instant squits. probably not what you had in mind though. Grin

Personally I wouldn't take any more for a day or two - your system has kind of gone:
Sunday - Infection! Evacuate all areas!
Monday - Imodium - OK boys...backing up there, hold it...hold it!
Wednesday - Laxido? WTF? Thought we were backing up here? Syrup of Figs? SYRUP OF FUCKING FIGS are we in the 1950s now? Glycerine suppositories? PRUNES?! OK boys, all systems go! Come along now keep up at the back yesterday's breakfast and McDonalds, we're going this way, THIS WAY!

That's probably why you haven't been yet Grin Give it all time to work through.

BrendaandEddie · 24/10/2015 20:24

there are poo trolls?

Sparklingbrook · 24/10/2015 20:30

Brenda there really are. Sad

BrendaandEddie · 24/10/2015 20:35

what do they do? Try and engage chat about poo? LINK ME

Sparklingbrook · 24/10/2015 20:38

There hasn't been one for ages TBF. I think it all stemmed from the pooey goings on at a central London station and some Mumsnetter being dispatched in RL with spare clothes.

NorbertDentressangle · 24/10/2015 20:38

Jeez I wouldn't want to be between you and the toilet when all those take effect! Wink

Red wine and peanuts,

Cigarettes help if you smoke. I don't smoke but I used to and have a fag when im like that.

BestIsWest · 24/10/2015 21:31

Have just snorted my tea out at Gobbin's post.

Badders123 · 27/10/2015 16:45

Do you think the backlog is cleared? I went past maccy D's earlier and thought of you. Grin

Badders123 · 27/10/2015 16:56

I didn't resort to a macdonalds sparkling :)
It must be all the stuff I shoved down and up myself Blush
Am hoping that's it!
