Ultimate fibre helped me for a long time better than Lactulose and prunalex and coloxil senna and all the other fibres and homeopathics and what not. Its quite powerful. I used dulcolax occasionally and colonic hydrotherapy. Then my surgeon told me to use dulcolax daily - I was afraid my body would get dependant and it did. It responds to nothing else now; its painful and Im looking at surgery. I tried Motegrity too and capsuled magnesium....didnt work. They might have earlier though. who knows
I want to ask my surgeon not to recommend using dulcolax daily to other people because it made things heaps worse for me and I would advise anyone who uses it to try minimize it and alternate with other things. We re all different of course as to how we respond to things.
If I seem short in my responses - apologies. I really appreciate this space and everyone's sharing. I find I have very little energy to talk about this and to research it and so on, as it already takes up more energy than I have 🙂 x
