Martin has the same problem. He said Movicol helps a little, but also take Lactilose as it lubricates the poo and makes it slide more easily. Lactilose is not harmful as I was allowed to take when I was pregnant. Martin just told me a s well that the secret and the best advice he can give is: take a magazine, go and sit on the loo every day, even if you don't think you need to go, and sit and wait. And more often than not, you will go a little bit. A little bit is good as it's if you wait too long that it builds up that's when you need to dig out.
