Constipation struggles

Hi ladies. This is rather embarrassing, I’m having serious toilet troubles. I’ve been given laxatives from the gp and taken them the past 2 days but nothing!
I now get seriously painful cramps after eating, I’m talking agony. It does go away after about an hour.
I’ve tried drinking more, eating prunes, walking, drinking hot drinks, having a warm bath.

I really don’t know what to do, any advice on how to get things moving?

Thanks 🙏

Have you tried fybogel? I assume docs gave you lactulose which can take a while to soften your stools it's quite a gentle stool softner

And prune juice instead of actual prunes as it will get through faster than the actual fruit

Thanks Aneesha, yes they gave lactulose. I’ll give the prune juice a go 🤞

I use something called microlax. Works so fast it shocked me. I’ve also used germoloids if it’s painful.
