constipation
"i had bowel surgery in 2006 to remove an early tumour . i have had constipation for over 50 years . i walk have a good diet and try to drink the recommended fluids daily but sometimes my work schedule makes this difficult . my bowel motions are usually hard and difficult to pass and i usually go to the toilet once or twice a week . i have tried movicol which is effective but takes too long to work . Dulcolax does for me what it says overnight releif , however i usually need two . there is some cramping but i can cope with that as i know my bowels are working effectively ."
