Not done a poo in 8 days

[GenderCriticalTrumpets]

I've been unwell with a UTI so admittedly haven't eaten a lot but it's now been 8 days since I last did a poo. I haven't got tummy ache or felt the urge to go or anything but how odd? GP job or buy a bucket of prunes?

Glycerine suppositories might help

‘Chia seed internal shower’ was a recent trend on TikTok. Very effective apparently!

This worked for me. Took about 30 mins but you need to hold it inside you as long as you can (up to an hour) to get the full effect.

Glycerin suppositories. These saved me after having DC1 and I didn't go for a week. They are so effective I still use them occasionally.

Laxido (also known as movicol), available over the counter at pharmacies, great for getting things moving.

Thanks everyone! I'll go to the pharmacy today.

TMI but I had major surgery a few months ago and been suffering ever since, I can go a week without the urge to go! Dioctyl (sodium docusate) has been a lifesaver, gets things going and softens without the horrific cramps or urgency you get with senna etc

Duclosoft liquid is tasteless and very effective. You can put a drop in your hot/cold drinks.
