For Constipation "I ended up 4 days ago in A&E as I was in ridiculous pain from a bowel obstruction. 4 days of 8 bags of macrogol didn’t touch it. I could not pass gas and was in terrible pain. I was eventually given a Cleen (Fleet enema). It only partially worked, although I couldn’t leave the bathroom for 5 hours. When eventually released from the hospital, I was told to keep on 1 bag of macrogol a day until it all regulated. I must say, 4 days later, I am still in a great deal of pain, still cannot pass hard stool (if any), and still feel extremely sore and feverish. I think this may work for mild impactions, not for severe ones."

For Bowel Preparation "Used Fleet for bowel prep before a sigmoidoscopy. It was extremely painful, made me sick to my stomach for hours, the chills and shakes, increased heart rate, cramping even after I emptied my bowels."
