I am worried about my shunt, and the neurosurgery doctor saying that this constipation is unrelated to my shunt (which he has said before). I think their lack of care is awful.

I hope your constipation is better, and you drink lots of water.

One of our posters from Australia has issues with obstruction and takes Movicol sachets daily. I also deal with constant constipations due to opioid meds and take Miralax daily. I think miralax may be similar to Movicol. Drinking lots of water is definitely a must.
