HelloI have suffered with chronic constipation for over 10 yr . had quiet a lot of investigations and not really had a full answer yet, they have done a recent test called transit study which showed that i have a very low transit and i was told i have damage to the gut.This may have been done during my Cesarian section ten years ago ??? I have been put on resolor for the last 28 days (i have to continue for a whole month). As of yet i don't think its very effective. I do have looser stools when i go but its not regular at all. I do have a lot of gas build up and ofter burp excessively after food, say around every few days but not every single day. iv had that for many years so might not be the new medication. I am next having bio-feed back and a further test in my rectum not sure what its called its like a balloon which checks mussel tones I really don't know what is next i just want to be normal has any one els had any different tests or treatment. Oh and iv had cameras up to check for polyps this was seven years ago and nothing was found.

Whiskey18, it took a few weeks for the tablets to start working for me so maybe you just need to try them for a bit longer. Once they got going they worked really well. My appetite has finally gone back to normal so maybe your side effects will disappear after a while too.

I've been on prucalopride for 10 weeks now and have had a good result, going to the toilet easily every 4 days without fail but lately its becoming longer in between evacuation. I too have hunger pangs but only eat at mealtimes and have gained 5 pounds . I have been told i can increase my dose to 4mg. Has anybody else been told this? As according to the info leaflet there's no evidence to say an increased dose will do any good.

How long do you need to take prucalopride for? If you finish all your dosages within the month can you still go to the bathroom after even if you don't take the medication?

It took me about three weeks on proculapride before it started working. Now finally I poo normally don't have as much wind and no bloating! Thinking about it maybe I am more hungry than before, but having said that I have been exercising more so it could be that. I had read all sorts of nasty things about this drug but have to say I am pleasantly surprised and very happy to take it.

Hi I have been suffering with cc for 4 years. I am on resolor 2mg. Nothing really seems to help me I recently was prescribed ducolax medicine that helped me a little. I tend to get a lot of overflow. I swell very badley. The other month I was constant vomiting because I was that compacted. As I came of all my medication as I was sick of messing my self with the overflow.

Hi. I have been taking Prucalopride (resolor) for already 4 months. It increases the feeling of hunger. Well, I had no hunger before, since my Colon is so swollen that my stomach has been pushed up and reduced to almost no space. It has helped with the chronic constipation, but it has increased the migranes. I stopped taking it about 2 weeks ago. My constipation is back. More severe than before. additionally I have a very bad smell and taste in my mouth about 2 or 3 hours after eating something. It does not matter what it is what I eat. I am not sure if my intestines are now "addicted" to the medicine, but since I cannot eat a lot (no emptying of the intestines), I have lost 5 kilos in 2 weeks. I might start to take the medicine again, so I do not loose more weight, but I am not sure that the medicine is not worsening my nerves or muscle function by over stimulation.

I'm 25, female whit chronic constipation. Resotran is very helpful.... But I also feel very hungry. I didn't realize until the second week. I eat really well (like VERY well) and I took 5 lbs, my pants doesn't fit well (I'm short 4'11''). I don't know what to do cause it's the only drugs that makes me go to the bathroom.

Did someone try to take an other drugs to reduce appetite ? Like Topamax ?

Pardon my english, I'm french canadian :)

When you gained weight on the scale, did you notice your clothes tighter? Could it just be water weight?

Also, has anybody taken this with an extremely spastic colon? My Intestines don't work right. Extreme pain with every Bowel movement, things get trapped half way out, stool and gas and sometimes it goes into Spasms so severe that I wind up throwing up too. Throwing up is happening a lot more often lately. Bowels are an every day thing.

Hi Vicky,
I never had an official diagnosis. My GI just said my whole GI system was slow. My main symptom was to have very severe bloating abdominal pain ~1x week lasting for 5-7 hours. I had 1 week with some diarrhea, but for last month fairly normal BM & no pain.

Hi Carole. Gabrielle here . took this tablet at ten o clock. Had a large motion which came like a bullet 2 hrs ltr. It went on and on and on. Noons mentioned weight gain to me. No way can I afford weight gain. I'm worried about taking this now . it seems so strong. My son went into the bathroom after me and it looked like world war 2 had taken place. The mortification of it. I'm so upset.

Go to a good naturepath and get your gut microbiome checked out! All the medications you are taking dont fix the root cause. Find a doctor that will help you find the root cause rather than mask your symptoms with medication after medication.
