Re: Chronic constipation
Thanks for that Kipper. To be fair my dietician is very good she has made an appointment for me to see the Renal Consultant and is trying to get me an alternative to Fosrenol arranged, but I like to ask you guys for help too as this forum has been a great help to me in the past. Cheers x
