Ok, today I started orientating and exploring the product(s).
Since I have no experience with either, it is of course important and wise to see how people react to them, and whether they have any (unwanted) side effects or allergic reactions, etc.
Today (Saturday) I got up normally after a good rest around 9am.
Had a normal BM yesterday morning, and haven't since.
Last afternoon, at 1pm, I had quite a large/heavy lunch (Italian pasta dish)
During the afternoon I felt that my intestines were already a bit fuller, an average full intestine so to speak, but no urge to have a BM yet.
Decided to take 1 portion of Movicol (dissolve 1 sachet/portion of powder in 125ml of water and drink immediately) at 4pm
The (lighter) dinner consisted of a fish dish.
Around 8pm I clearly felt a full intestine, actually as I normally feel if I had a BM in the not too distant future.
So so far everything is basically as I would normally have/expect it without using any products.
Because I have not experienced any side effects/nasty reactions so far, I decided to take a 2nd portion of Movicol at 9pm
So far "the report"
Let's see how the rest of the evening goes and whether I will notice anything from that Movicol in the coming hours....
Then of course the questions now are:
- am I going to have another BM before going to sleep or not?
- if not:
Am I going to take a dose of Lactulose today, before going to sleep, or am I just going to leave it at that for this 1st test and see what effect it has tomorrow?
Or take up the challenge straight away and take some Lactulose before going to sleep.
Then, as I am sometimes quite a "faint person", I could try, for example, 30ml as the 1st and starting dose.
...I'll just wait and see for the next few hours...
