Bisacodyl and headaches

After reading so many glowing reviews of suppository use, I have been trying bisacodyl suppositories. While I enjoy the urgency that slowly builds, I also get a low grade headache that takes away from the overall experience. It’s consistent every time.

Do others get this side effect?

Maybe I need to try the glycerin type instead.

I have not used bisacodyl and only use glycerin. Never experienced any undesired side effects. Hope you find what works for you.

Always listen to your body. I think you're doing a good job at that. 😊

That is great advice from SuppoEnemaGirl. I had a similar situation with a lady after an enema rinse with a small amount of baking soda. This happened twice so more than a coincidence and we reverted to plain warm water.

There will exist other side effects and risks of bisacodyl suppositories, especially rectal bleeding.

Interesting, I have not tried this. I used to get constipation headaches when I was younger. Taking an enema nearly always relieved the headache.
