Movicol
44 reviewsReviews
This drug is essential to take after an operation, it helps relieve the chronic pain caused by constipation and gets things moving again.
I recently noticed that this medicine is available over the counter and anyone struggling with constipation should try this as it is gentle and very effective.
For non mobile persons becoming extremely constipated can be an issue movicol has been a huge help with my disabled son, no more swollen extended uncomfortable stomach, very easy to pass stools. It's tricky at first to determine how much and how often to give it but once this is figured out its a great help.
No side effects at all
This has been used by my daughter, now 10, since she was about 18 months. Without it she gets almost instantly bunged up ... with it she leads a perfectly normal life with no ill effects.
I do slightly worry that her body has never "trained" itself to better manage food transit but we are assured this will come. In the meantime she eats more fruit than any other child I've met which can't be a bad thing.
