hi. i have suffered with constant stomach cramps and lower back pain 2 years and constipation .had all scans etc clear awaiting to see gastroentologidy as want a colonoscopy .the problem i have is unless I can get my bowels to be watery like diorrhea i have the pain its there before and afteri ve had a poop for days..when ever my poop is remotely formed I start to get the horrendous stomach and lower back pain that goes on for days at a time with sweatin and nausea. After another trip to a and the dr gave me movecol and 2senekot all at once . took 2 days but I suddenly started to go 3 x a day but it was really loose like diorhgea. but for first time I had no pain . it was great fie 3weeks . and i took movecol3 x day and senekot at night. but last4 weeks the pain has returned and my daughter said to me she thinksi its cos I cut down on the laxatives.it seems as soon as i stop haveing watery loose stools tjhe pains return.my questions is it ok to take senekot every day and movecol 3 x day every day ?

    hi kaz, i think your bowels could now be settled and you may not need any more laxatives. why didn't you try less laxatives and see how you get on?
