Hi
If Movicol is working that well I would ask your GP to try you with Senna which is gentler on your bowels as it is a natural remedy.

In my many years working as a carer I saw some bad reactions to movicol as well as no reactions at all. I would imagine that being "cleared out" like that won't do the other medications you take any favours, my route would be to talk to my GP for definate.
