I want LIS done! Right away after my exams! But the prob is, I'm afraid my stools won't remain soft for long after the surgery. You see, when I take 10 ml of lactus syrup 3 times a day, eat lots of veggies and drink plenty of water, the next day my stools become significantly harder and I don't get more than 2 stools out each time I go. This happens in the mornings. Usually in the afternoon, I get everything out pretty ok, but im always afraid that if I really relax myself and let all the stools pass faster, it would tear open another fissure or possibly the same one again! That's why I have to take do much lactus syrup( around 60 ml, gosh that's a lot ). Can someone explain to me why the recommended dose ( 30ml ) is not working? Please help, so I wouldn't have to buy a lifetime supply of stoolsofteners after the surgery:) thanks guys, you rock!

hi ,ive been using movicol in the uk, 2 sachets a day ,hi fibre loads of water ,wholemeal bread only ,little red meat, cut down on cheese,could try some lube ky ect

Here in Singapore we don't get movicol. Haven't really experimented with the OTC medicines available here, but I guess I'll try them. Thanks!!! More suggestions and explanations please:)
