Hi Jacque,
Thanks for sharing your experiences & recommendation of the Prunelax. I'll try and get my hands on some of it asap.
Our stories are similar. I've been trying to get help for 35 years, under surgeons for 11 or 12 years now, and finally last year my second opinion surgeon referred me for a Bowel Transit Study which shows a very tortured colon. The BTS is a very inexpensive procedure which I feel should be the first thing a GP or surgeon referers one suffering from constipation for.
I've wasted thousands of $'s on every diet change, fibre supplement, every type of laxative, anal irrigation and probiotic on the market and had to endure so much pain most of my adult life. I'm both mad and sad that it's taken so long to learn what my problem is😢
I've also just recently had it confirmed that I also have Diverticular, despite me asking about this all these years. My father suffered with terrible episodes of Diverticulitis and was hospitalised many times throughout his adult life.
Long may the Prunelax work for you, Jacques🙂
