Docusol taste

[babysqueak]

Hello, my 5 year old is chronically constipated and he has been started on Docusol. We are having real trouble getting him to take it, it makes him gag. Chocolate milkshake works, but I worry about the extra sugar in his diet. Please can anyone suggest ways to disguise it? He needs 15 mls a day. Thank you

Hi, I am not familiar with Docusol but my daughter takes daily Senokot and Movicol. I put the Movicol in Crusha milkshake as it is sugar free unlike Nesquik which is not. Crusha is a liquid and comes in a bottle with a cat on and is kept in the fridge. This would at least take away the worry of too much sugar x

Your pharmacist is a good person to ask about how best to give your little boy this medicine and tricks for hiding it.

I'd opt for adding it to milk or juice/low sugar squash:

We used milk to mask and sometimes lightly sprinkled choc powder. Often the bribe of a choc button after worked best
