Senokot

[Sweetie77]

Is there any harm in taking this sort of tablet on a regular basis?

For constipation, try some Figs, they come in a squeezy pack, three at night should get you going in the morning. Otherwise, Fybogel is very safe, even something like a tin of prunes. Plenty of water as well. Good luck. Just don't take any 'drugs' ... like Tony says, read the label. Something natural is far better.

also, walking helps, i think the action of striding stimulates the bowel

Yes its a laxative

God are you bunged up? No? Well dont take it just to look slim you will lose control of your bum muscles and poo yourself in mark's and sparks if you do

I think it's much better to take a natural product rather than rely on any kind of medication. Eating generous portions of fruit and fibre will sort out this problem, and beetroot particularly has a laxitive effect if eaten in reasonable quantities.

Not taking it for slimming I am really bloated and feel horrible!!! I took it for a few days and was fine then stopped and went back to being bloated again!!!

do you think you may have IBS symptoms?

I was a bit nervous about taking Senokot at first. In fact I nearly sh@t myself!

believe me I have tried all of the above and nothing works, supositries etc etc I have found one thing that works for me. A glass of cranberry juice in the morning. Cheaper than Senakot.
