Severe Constipation & Enema's

[CrowKnee223]

Hi,

I've tried Lactulose, Movicol, Laxido, Docusate, Bisocodyl And Dulcosate orally and Glycerine, Bisocodyl suppositories and Micralax Enemas. Not all at once but over a 2 year period and I am still constipated!

Due to Crohn's Disease I've had several surgeries, so as you can image my gut it pretty messed up. I believe from the experience so far there is some obstruction/twist in my sigmoid, probably structural and I think the poop has build up from that bottleneck causing a hard mass of constipation.

Having tried those meds, at varying doses, with no result. I am considering trying an enema. I've read Lactulose can be used as an enema, but that's as far as I got. Any advice or insight would be great, Thanks.

If you have an obstruction or twist in your sigmoid, you should see your doctor.

stool softeners,fibrogel and a health supplement powder Baobab work for me.I take all three throughout the day,when needed,and plenty water,but of course you know that.
D. and urgency is my usual problem,but every so often C.kicks in and I hate it.Best wishes.
