its giving really unpleasant side effects ie soiling with no warning - so i’m going back to the odd senna with fibre diet - would rather be constipated than soiled !!
thankyou my friends

SNAP. !!! I’m going to see doc this afternoon regarding this, I also got a shock yesterday when I passes one of my tabs. I’m on OxyContin extended Release and it hadn’t even dissolved !! My hubby researched it and seemingly its movicol, thought it was just me who had soiling and like you I hate it !!! Will see what doc says Margaret
Hi I take Docusate Sodium, the brand name is Dioctyl. They are capsules so easy to take and they seem to do the trick. I can take senna with them if I need to. But most of the time I’m fine on the Dioctyl.
I had been taking movicol & senna before and was never really confident of what to expect!
Hope this helps

Hi, I`ve used movi for years and never seen a tablet come through! But then I dont see everything I expel, I guess!
Throughout the years I have had some severe constipation problems.
I seem ok now (fingers crossed) as I have added a fresh fig and banana to a big bowl of all bran for breakfast.
I actually quite enjoy it.
I never found senna to work very well.
there are times too, when I get too loose and have to cut back on the movi.
I find wearing a pad, usually catches anything unpleasant!

For me without question is the new super food; POPCORN. Homemade not the rubbish out of shops; Loads of fibre plus vitamins.
Then exercise; Mr Motivator on the MS Trust website; brilliant; like clockwork now.

Magnesium Sulphate helps with constipation its natural and has no side effects.

Hi, I take Laxido sachets in orange juice every day, works really well.
hi
i have stopped taking movicol because i wanted a normal bowel movement. the result was constipation at first but i played around with my breakfast until i started to go again.
a strong coffee helps. bananas help too. i like the sound of poll’s breakfast and i have some fresh figs in my fridge so going to try it tomorrow.
