Hi there, I was prescribed Movicol to regulate my bowel movements. I have tried various treatments over the years and nothing seems to work. It got that bad I was losing a lot of water from laxatives but not being able to pass a proper movement and the pain was unbearable. I researched Glycerine Suppositories and found they sell 12 in boots for £3.49. They worked straight away and prevented a trip to A&E. I recommend one suppository every 24 hours until the blockage is clear. Lots of water and eating in small amounts, chewing and cutting your food until small pieces until you can get back to regular movements. Thanks.
