i swear by movicol, although it isnt really pleasant to take, you just have to knock it back, it works for me, and its what they use in hospitals, and its safe enough even for children to use. you would be ok taking that. its very gentle. if u check with your gp you can gt it on prescription, good luck andrea huni, is there any way u could drink any more water, or do u already feel like a camel, lol, aw not much longer to go now huni, almost there. hugs xxxx
