Thankyou I was given the fibre sachets but they make me go to the loo a lot , I’ve changed my diet completely in the last few days just drinking lots of water and trying to just fruit and veg , still got cramps and the urge to keep running to the loo but not had a proper bowel movement as of yet , I do suffer from
Really bad health anxiety hence why the doctor is fast forwarding me for a colonoscopy which is now stressing me to the max , I mean do I really need this procedure 🙁

I wouldn't worry, you said your diet wasn't at the best and you where constipated so that is most likely what caused the problem and your doc said you where good,
I cant stress enough how important it is to drink alot of water and have a high fiber diet. Good luck at your colonoscopy, and remember you are what you eat.. I find bran flakes to be a life saver for all digestive issues....

i agree with Arok about drinking a lot of water. Also eat vegetables and take daily miralax, citrucel, or Metamucil, these can help a great deal. Avoid too much meat and be cautious with cheese.
I would not be too concerned about this.

My sense, based on what you wrote, is that if you fix your diet you will be fine.
