coloxyl with senna is better than coloxyl - movicol is good for a one off thing - but if youve had surgery the best thing to do is to discussit with your dr - make sure you are gettin enough water as that is a major source of constipation - the 2 litres a day thing seems to work.

for me - if that happens i eat hot food - curries and chilie stuff - works every time

oh taking fibre when youre already clogged up - wil only clog you up more - in my experience - and the prunes or prune juice or pear juice or fruit is a great idea.

anyway - i hope things get moving for you soon
