Constipation

[Chester100]

I have had stomach problems after having my second child Via c section. Long story short after being on daily meds i have suffered constipation. Can it last several weeks?

Have you tried Fybogel? It's available over the counter. Fibre- fuelled sachets that you dilute and drink after a meal to get things going again. Hope you get better. I had piles after pregnancy and bowels also changed though I'm not sure why. I think mine can be stress related.

Porridge, prunes, lactulose. Drink lots of water.

Have you tried lactulose? I also suffered after having my babies, this worked for me! I hope it gets better soon

hi Thanks everyone. I have actually just bought fybogel tho haven't tried these yet. I was trying to stick with movical but it just seem to cause diarrhoea. Lactulose worked better but then done the same lol. I have ibs symptoms so my stomach doesn’t tolerate things well. Pain spams ect and now it seem long term meds are causing constipation.

Hi my son is 12 always suffered from constipation from birth. Going once a week then suffering blockage due to this normally takes movical. Tho more recently he has been passing stools 3/4 times a week that are very lose. (With out taking movical) Is there anything I can give him to settle his stomach? Thanks
