I went to my local A&E where they told me I was badly constipated. Told me to take 6 movicol sachets a day until it cleared (my stools were soft anyhow so wasn't sure how effective this would be. One day in our just made me bloated, 3 small bits of sludge. Since then I've had colonic irrigation, yet after the colonic I've been 4 times with very loose stools (and I've barely drank or done much exercise.) I still feel uncomfortable though. It's movicol/miralax really going to help if my stools are loose anyway? How can I have soft stools yet be backed up at the same time?
