I found it all a bit trial and error with my daughter. Maybe try giving the senokot in one dose in the evening ( my 6 year old was prescribed 5ml in evening daily by consultant) you say you have increased the movicol which i would also have suggested, going from 2 to 1 sachet a day is quite a drop, see how you go on 1.5 sachets. Good luck and stay strong π¬ It's incredibly baffling I agree.
Our consultant also instructed my daughter to do daily sits after dinner for 10 mins on toilet. We used to read etc. Sometimes a poo would come sometimes not but he said it helped the body to get into a routine.
My daughter has done well on senokot and has been off all laxatives for 3 months now and been totally clean until today, she had poo in her knickers after school. Made me shudder at the thought of it all starting again.
Good luck x
See our gp said give in the morn. So tormented in what is best.
Its soul destroying as he has just been like dumped for over 2yrs until iasked for senokot.
Will see what tomoro brings with the 1 and a half movicol as 4 dirty pants today ππ
Heart breaking as he was doing so well !!
Do u think it works better at night ? And gp did say up it to 5mls if we feel that the 2.5 is enough
Did you discover this when he came home from school? If so, perhaps he is not going to the toilet and needs someone to take him by the hand whilst he sits on the loo, even if he says he doesn't have to go. Sound like he is still not able to regulate himself in this way and needs outside reminders and prodding whilst at school.
