    What you need is something called [b:c9be28bddc]Lactulose[/b:c9be28bddc], you can buy it at the chemists smile

    I had the same problem. It is a well-known side effect of painkillers.

    My doctor told me it was perfectly OK to take laxatives.

    I started to take \"senakot\" and I increased my water intake.

    I took 2 senakot each night, one in the morning. I also took \"dulcoease\" for 2-3 days to help get things going.

    It certainly helped.
