Anyone ever had one? I irrigate, but the last few days the water is just coming back out with very little poo. Then throughout the day, hard small lumps appear in my bag. I have tried irrigating twice, half an hour apart, but still no returns. I am loathe to seek out medical help at Easter as there is only one doctor on duty in the hospital then. Also, because I read they may put in a nasogastric tube, which I have sworn off for life. I think I might need a colonoscopy to see what's up. Anyone got any thoughts? Thanks.
