For Constipation, Acute "On a scale of one to ten, I rate Senokot as a ten. I have chronic constipation since birth due to being born with a pituitary tumor and developed hypothyroidism. Nothing worked, and the chronic constipation came full force the day after I graduated from college. I was in so much pain to the point where I could not eat, look for a job, or play water polo or my normal swimming. In 1985, a gastroenterologist put me on Senokot, and it worked miracles. No bloating, I was able to work out again and enjoy life. I had to take four a day only because my stomach was so far gone, but no bloating, no irritation, or heartburn."

For Constipation, Acute "I have had chronic constipation for about 35 years. I am now 74, and it gets worse as you age. I had a period of time where I couldn't go for 2 weeks, and my Dr. put me on Senokot S. One didn't work, but the next night I used 2, and it fixed me up. I keep it here to use if my usual cleansing tea doesn't work. The Senokot gave me no side effects."

For Constipation, Acute "This is the only laxative/stool softener I can actually trust to take and produce a bowel movement within 12 hours! The only downside is that it gives me really bad stomach cramps about an hour before I am able to pass a bowel movement! If it were okay for me to take every day, I would."

For Constipation, Acute "I was badly constipated for 4 or 5 days. My stomach and my back were aching. No matter how much water and fibrous foods I ate, I wasn't able to go. At my wit's end, I bought Senokot S and took one pill at 9 pm and another at 1 am. While I could feel it working (I had some strange feelings in my stomach), I didn't get bad cramps or pain. At 9:30 am, I was finally able to 'go' with no straining or pain."

"I can't believe I didn't review this over a year ago. I was either constipated or had to go 5 times a day. I had been trying fiber and half a dozen things. I took 1 pill. It killed me for 3 days. I started passing blood. Worst of all, I developed an anal fissure. That was 2 months of agony. I would consult a doctor before taking these. I did. They said to try. I should have listened to my body. I need lots of binders and fiber. I know the medication helps some people a lot. Be careful!"
