Obviously no one was listening.
MOVICOL!!!!!!!!!! Works differently to others and wont make you dependent.
Movicol is a brand-name laxative manufactured by Norgine.
Each sachet of this medicine contains macrogol (polyethylene glycol) 3350, an iso-osmotic laxative, along with sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride and potassium chloride. Electrolytes are included to help mitigate the possibility of electrolyte imbalance and dehydration. The contents of the sachets are mixed with water to make a drink.The range of Movicol includes Movicol Junior, Movicol-Half, Movicol Chocolate and Movicol Plain. Movicol is currently the largest selling laxative in the world in value terms.
Macrogol is an inert substance that passes through the gut without being absorbed into the body. It relieves constipation because it causes the water it is taken with to be retained in the bowel instead of being absorbed into the body. This increases the water content and volume of the stools in the bowel, making them softer and easier to pass. According to new guidelines previewed in a story at the University of Maryland, Baltimore School of Medicine (where one of the neurologists had been involved in establishing the new guidelines), isosmotic macrogol can be used to treat constipation in Parkinson’s Disease patients (it is an often-overlooked non-motor symptom).
Thank you Bubba for creating a thread that I know to avoid :P instead of having to open up innocent-looking chat posts and having my delicately, sensitive soul attacked with graphic descriptions of things I’d rather not know about.
Very very kind of you :)

You’re welcome. LOL
Psyllium (sp??) husks are pretty good, too. Just gotta remember to have plenty of water with them – they really suck the moisture up.
I used to take a teaspoon or two (I forget – getting old, hey?!) in a glass of water, then follow with another glass of water.
I tried bake beans on toast …… made me fart a lot;P

Good point….lol
You can get stuff called Microlax. I bought it before I went into hospital. thought I was blocked up causing me to not be able to swallow.
Turned out my stomach was blocked.
Anyway. This is a suppository stuff, in liquid form. Only 5ml a go.
Twist cap off, squirt all the liquid where the sun doesn’t shine.
5-10 minutes later, Robert’s your father’s brother.
Non prescription, from the chemist.
