for the past 3 weeks I have been suffering from very bad constipation. I cannot fully empty my bowels and have to pull the faeces out left in my rectum. I have tried Fybogel but the pain cramps and flatulence made my condition worse. Senna is not helping either, I am gluten wheat and lactose intolerant and now cannot digest sucrose. Any help anyone can give me.

Over do the fruit, one of each per day. Do you eat veg, again not too
Much.
Do you exercise, it can help as well. I know how you feel I used to be
Constipated all the time, still are occasionally, but not as much since
Eating kiwi and orange. I am waiting for a celiac test in 3weeks.
Hope I have helped in some way, let me know how you get on.
Hope you feel better soon.

Only after my colonoscopy did it start clearing up.
As already said plenty of water helps keep the system flowing.
Depending on what you can or not eat, veg and fruit. Prunes are good or prune juice.
With intolerance to wheat, glueton and lactose it's making difficult for you , have the same as you only includes dairy as well.I take Docusate morning and evening,fybogel is now only if I need it.
Also take probiotics which are free from obtained from health store. But
Sort doctor's advice first. You may need to take MEDS on a permanent
Basis, maybe adjusting to your needs. But do consult with your doctor.

I have gallstones and am waiting to have my gallbladder removed.
Before I was diagnosed with gallstones one GP thought it might be IBS.
Not sure if this is still the case and I may have IBS as well as the gallstones.
My concern at the moment is to have my gallbladder removed as soon as possible (6 - 8 month waiting list) and see how I feel after that.
In the meantime I am on a low fat diet.
Hope this settles down for yu.
Take care
Sarah

Sorry to hear of your problems. I have exactly the same, I went to the doctors and they gave me some sachets you add to water called Laxido, these seem to help me and give me a bowel movement when I am severely constipated

However, I am taking a lot of painkillers now because I have recently been diagnosed with gallstones and am waiting to have my gallbladder out. I have constipation but had completely forgotten that it may be to do with the painkillers. Thanks for reminding me of laxido I may try them again.
