Its my anti seizure meds after the brain op & now the tum meds that bung me up ....Im on Movicol 3 a day normally and I still aint going as I should In emergency situations when Its been over 6 days they've given me 8 sachets in one go:eek: - its no fun is it

It isn't that Hun!:( I take diclofenac for ankle injury and as soon as I take that I get bunged up! I saw a consultant at the hospital who said it was perfectly normal "not to go for 2 weeks"!:eek: My GP said Movicol wasn't available any more which is why I take the laxido orange instead. Maybe it's just not available where we live??

Just had dinner, eggs didnt get eaten, they got cooked though. I tried them and they didn't taste 'right'. So had SW chips, beans and 2 Cauldron Falafel - nomnomnom, they are yummy. Am i correct in saying the are 1/2 a syn each? Totally worth it:D

So i'm at 8 syns so far.

i work as a community nurse, many of our patients take movicol, so i know it is available. i suspect its some sort of financial reason your gp says movicols not available anymore

...I have the opposite problem to Dizzy and others, i'm never off the blooming toilet on this diet! Sorry if TMI, but i can 'go' up to 5 times a day, is that normal????

...

I'm the same Guns - almost each time I go for a wee it turns into a biggie:D (sorry!) EXCEPT ON TUESDAY. Tuesday is WI day and my bowels clamp up dammit. I'm here now thinking positive toiletty thoughts but no sign so far:o

re the soup someone asked about, I add hardly any liquid whilst cooking the vegetables (ie maybe a tablespoon) - steam - then blitz it - THEN add as much liquid as you want to get the soup to the consistency you want.

I know its expensive to buy over the counter:eek: I get 2 carrier bags each time I get a repeat prescrip....and ive only been on it the last couple of months so its not like its an old prescrip thats carried on and ive slipped through the net.

Just checked syns online and i think the falafel may be 1 syn each? Not sure though, they had mini bites as 1/2 a syn each, bit confused. Either way i'm not over my syn allowance.
