Hi, posting in chat for traffic. How soon can I expect this to work please? I've had 4 this morning, and will do this evening, but then 6 tomorrow morning and evening if nothing has happened. How quickly can I expect it to kick in please? (I'm guessing I need to stay near a toilet).

Three days maximum but you need to drink loads of water (or any clear liquid) as well. It works by drawing water from the digestive system so the more you drink the better. I hope it works for you.

Thanks, that's helpful to know. They said if it hadn't worked by Wednesday to get back to them (or if I start getting bad tummy pain or throwing up faeces).

Hiya, OP. We've moved your thread over to General Health now - hope you get some good replies there.

Thanks - I hope it works for me tomorrow, I'm feeling very uncomfortable.

it's not great is it. boiling water is good if you have trapped wind pain,
