Transverse colon constipation

In case of overflow-incontinence using laxatives makes sense to get rid of constipation higher up. Have you already tried any?

During my journey I have used Movicol (didn't work at all), Laevolac (bad taste if taken on a regular basis), NEDA-Würfel (lead to cramps and no release), Dulcolax (massive cramps, nothing else), Glauber's salt (worked well, bad taste) and milk of magnesia (not available in Austria and Germany; you have to buy it online or buy the powder and mix it with water).

Seeing a continence nurse might help although it might be difficult to find (a good) one. (Ich muss hier einräumen, dass Gespräche mit Kontinenzschwestern manchmal in ein ziemliches Kasperltheater ausufern können...)

Laevolac and Glauber's salt worked best for me. But they produce a lot of tartar (Zahnstein) when using them on a regular basis. That's why I changed to milk of magnesia. Glauber's salt and Laevolac work within 90 minutes using the right dose.

Although I cannot force a bowel movement with milk of magnesia it helps to improve bowel function (Ich meine damit, dass ich meinen Stuhlgang so zumindest ganz gut regulieren kann.)

Recently I bought a tin of Epsom salt (Bittersalz). But I have not tried it yet.

tetra , thank you for reminding me.

When I was inpatient, there was a masseur who treated my bowel problems with a so-called colon massage, a very intense massage that focuses on a few points in the abdomen. He was the only one who used this technique although physiotherapists should also know this.

Unluckily, I didn't find another masseur or PT who was willing to use this technique.

I almost forgot that. Massage is a good alternative to any other treatment method.
