I am nearing perimenopause and my hormones all over the place now. A period for 7 weeks and now cannot have a bowel movement without help. I need between 3/4 sachets of Laxido per day and this gives me diarrhoea which I have to push out. My stomach feels like a washing machine at times. I did have a colonscopy in May and everything fine so I was told there is a very low chance that this could be bowel cancer as it takes a long time to grow. I do not take Laxido every day as I could not cope with diarrhoea every day, I only take it about every 3 day could not cope with this. At times I am fed up and have had enough.
