I have been on Movicol for 10 years. I was prescribed it when I was younger because I had constant constipation. When I was terribly constipated movicol was helpful. I have struggled with bloating, nausea and abdominal pain for the most part. I am now transitioning from movicol to fibre supplements, my bowel is now dependent on movicol so I have to slowly wean myself off of it. Movicol did not improve my quality of life, it helped stop constipation, but the side effects almost make it not worth it. I wish my doctors had said use laxatives to move your bowel, but then take fibre supplements. Movicol, in my opinion, is more of a quick fix than a long term solution.
