We've used Dulcolax too but find Movicol much more effective. The only thing about it is that it's an ongoing treatment. You can't just use it to clear your blockage and then stop; it will happen again. It's a treatment, not a cure, and to be totally effective you need to use it every day or at least every other day.

Also Jess, sitting still doesn't really help you go. Walking around, particularly up and down stairs, always helps shift things. Just make sure you're within dashing distance of the toilet when things begin to happen!
