    I take occasional Buscopan and painkillers along with lots of fruit when I am constipated.  I find Buscopan very mild and I experience no side effects.

    Follow the instructions on the box when taking Movicol.  You may find you have to adjust the recommended dose according to how bad your constipation is.   I tried Movicol and found I had to wait days before I felt a difference and then had to stop it when I felt my stools were getting too loose.
