My first question on Movicol is how long after I've taken it can I drink water again? I'm sure I read somewhere that you shouldn't drink within a certain time scale after you've had the Movicol. At the moment I drink it about 8:15am and don't drink water for an hour so. Then again just before bedtime 12:00 midnight and probably have a drink around 4am. Does this affect the consistency of the stool or not?
My bowels are a bit too loose, flaky and full at the moment which might be helping not to get hard motions, but it's gone a bit too far the other way and I'm going between 3 & 4 times day (mainly morning to midday). These loosish sticky/flaky motions are making me quite sore and aren't helping my piles!
Any advice over Movicol use would be much appreciated. You'd think I'd have figured it out by now, having been on it for around 2 1/2 years.
I take about 90ml in the morning and 80ml just before bed.
Also, am I drinking too much water? Around about 3 pint jugs a day.
