A warning to those who may consider taking ducolax

I have IBS and eosinophilic gastroenteritis, unfortunately I struggle with pretty severe constipation. I came on a volunteer trip to a foreign country with extremely limited/poor healthcare. They wouldn’t allow my restoralax in as it looked like a powder similar to something else, so I got ducolax. I took 2 pills on Wednesday evening, I immediately got diarrhea like horribly. Then last night I had the most severe pains of my life, I was on the floor basically tremoring and shaking, it felt like I was in labour, I lost consciousness in the bath and my boyfriend had to stop me from hitting my head.

This lasted over 4 hours, I tried everything and nothing would work. I googled for hours and so many other people have similar experiences. It’s now the next day, and I still have pain, I can’t eat, drink coffee, nothing.

I have been hospitalized on hydromorphone for 6 weeks before for severe pain, this was 10x worse than that.

Do not!!! Take ducolax if you don’t have to, it’s ruined my entire vacation and I’m not going home early .
