I have got a huge bottle of the stuff squirreled away for future use!! It just so happens that my bowels decided to behave better after I had brought it - so havent had the chance to use it yet!! Apparently though - as long as you dont overdo it, its a bit gentler on the tummy than the senokot type laxatives, it makes things move by producing more lubrication as opposed to making your bowels contract to help push stuff out! (how delightful!!) Best of luck with it, hopefully just the prospect of it will scare your bowels into movement too!!
