Constipation Signs

Constipation - First one must recognize if they are really constipated. Regularity differs from one individual to the next according to most doctors. One person might have a bowel movement three times per day while the next might only have three or four per week. So, first make sure that you are really suffering constipation and not comparing yourself to a friend or relative who has frequent bowel movements. One bowel movement every other day might be the norm for you.

Constipation Diagnosis - Researchers found that those people who are really constipated usually have many similar symptoms that might happen abruptly over a long period of time or gradually. These symptoms usually include the following. They often strain a lot in the bathroom. Think about it. Are you straining more than normal?
They constantly feel gassy and bloated. This is a usual symptom. And not because they just ate a chili dog.
They produce hard bowel movements. One of the most common symptoms.

All the above symptoms point to a problem with constipation which is a concern for many. Most people suffer an occasional problem with constipation and resort to all sorts of cures. This could be anything from changing eating habits to taking a laxative. For stubborn constipation one should consult their doctor for more information.

Constipation problem: Been taking Movicol, hasn't completely worked yet.?
I had to go to the hospital a couple of nights ago because I had extreme pain in my stomach. I stayed over night and they told me that I was quite badly constipated (something I had already guessed as I have a history of painful constipation). So they gave me this Movicol Protocol to follow until I cleared my bowels. I have to take two sachets of Movicol on the first day, 3 on the second, 4 on the third, and so on until I have a massive bowel clearout. I'm now on the 3rd day, so I took 4 sachets today, and I still haven't cleared out my bowels. I've had diarrhoea, and have been going to the toilet every five minutes sometimes, but barely anything comes out, sometimes nothing, and it's all completely liquid. The doctor said that if it hadn't worked after 3 or 4 days then I should come back to see him. I'm not sure if I should go back yet, because I have been going to the toilet, just not passing very much, and there was ALOT in there. and I'm a bit confused because i've been going so regularly, but nothing much comes out and it's mostly all liquid. So should I just keep taking the Movicol and increasing my dosage, or call the doctor, or What? oh, and sorry about the fairly disgusting nature of this question by the way.
