Hi has anyone experienced this?
I had c section exactly 12 weeks ago. Initially they thought I had an obstruction as didn't have bowel movement or wind for 3 days and was vomiting large amounts and felt so unwell, anyway after lactulose that resolved and I was discharged.
I was on lactulose 3 times a day for the following 4 weeks or so until it stopped working and bowel movements became difficult and painful.
Developed a fissure which means horrendous pain everytime I go. Then went on lactulose & fybogel twice a day, this helped, I went 2x daily soft and easy to pass. But now 2 weeks ago that stopped working as well even though my diet hasn't changed.
Went to gp who looked like he didn't really believe me that my stools are so solid even though I am taking all these laxatives and he said it wasn't normal. I drink 3L of water a day, 5 portions of fruit & veg, high fibre, healthy diet.
I'm breastfeeding, is this the reason?!
Gp gave me Laxido. Been taking it two days but I've now not had any bowel movement in that time which is stressing me out.
Please can anyone offer any advice? I'm so fed up.
