**i have a history of diverticulitis on and off for years i am now very constipated no BM going on 5 days have taken Metamucial for two days with no success I am afraid of impaction Would appreciate any advice ! Thanks so much Patricia **
HI patricia constipation is the worst thing you can have with diverticulitis if it doesnt shift go straight to gp for strong laxatives. when l get a hint of constipation l take 2 or 3 sachets of Cosmocol good luck
If I’m desperate, and as a one off measure only, I take 2 Senekot. I’ve had Diverticular Disease for 18 years and the laxative hasn’t caused me any problems.
