GO FOR SOMETHING NATURAL! So, to sum it up, yes it was effective. It helped me go to the toilet when I had been having a bad case of holiday constipation. No, I do not feel that it has completely emptied my bowel. Similarly to other reviews however, this was not the problem! I took two pills at midnight (pharmacist told me to talk before bed). I woke up at around 5/6am with very strong stomach cramps. I can handle pain quite well, I’ve broken bones, Had toothache and root canal, severe UTIs, taken to hospital for food poisoning etc etc. I’m good with handling those situations. This was by far one of the worst nights I have experienced in terms of pain. 30 mins into sitting on the loo with cramps I thought I might pass out. My entire body was covered in a cold sweat. My top lip started going numb, I felt light headed, and as each wave of cramps came I tried to breathe through it. I’ve read some reviews likening it to childbirth and some saying it was worse than contractions. I’m yet to have a child, but that’s exactly what I thought. This must be exactly what contractions feel like. My body was so covered in sweat that I couldn’t sit on the loo seat without sliding around! And I’m not a sweaty person at all! First stools passed we’re solid and the liquid after about 1hr of sitting on the loo. Which was uncomfortable but a welcome relief in terms of pain. Apologies for my rant, but this medicine should come with a warning as the side effects seem to be so common. It 100% should not be given to anyone under 18 or without a prescription. More tests need to be conducted and categorising should be reviewed when this many people have such an adverse reaction.
