A member asked:

6days constipated have taken ducolax phillips caplets and enemas.all it's done is make my stomach hurt.i don't know what to do. help please?

You need evaluation: Constipation is very common, related to bad eating habits and sedentary life style. Recommend high fiber diet, plenty of water, and exercise program. Because you had 6 days of constipation and no results after enema and dulcolax, you should go to your family doctor or walk in clinic ASAP.

I have been suffering from constipation for 3 weeks, neither Movicol nor Dulcolax worked and after an X-Ray was done and showed faecal loading, my doctor prescribed KleanPrep, which worked on the day, but a week later, I'm constipated again.
