[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 2436475, member: 429870"] Indeed! Here is my solution: [URL]https://www.uhb.nhs.uk/Downloads/pdf/PiGlycerineSuppositories.pdf[/URL] I find it is important to keep on top of this problem by using a suppository 2-3 times daily, otherwise what is inside becomes harder and rockier and more impossible/painful to get out. The suppositories can be bought over the counter but also prescribed by a GP. IMO they are life-savers, or at the very least have saved me from showing up at A&E in the middle of the night suffering from impacted stool. I'm delighted to see from this leaflet that regular long-term use is not contra-indicated. I do consume lots of milled linseed etc, but the effect on my bowels seems to be minimal, whereas the suppositories work like a depth charge! NB they do need to be lubricated. Water is usually suggested, but I like a combination of water (on the tip of the suppository) and KY jelly (on me). When the instructions say to moisten the tip of the little torpedo, pay attention! The first time I thought more was better and moistened it all. The resulting chase as it zoomed all round my bathroom was quite exciting! Good luck! [/QUOTE]
