thanks for replying- we did the 7 day work up disimpaction regime with our 2 year old- started moving on day 4 of the regime- custard consistency not much may I add (one large nappy full). then day 6 dark brown water with tiny bits in- 1 nappy full - then day 7- much lighter brown colour again like water with tiny bits in- I then stopped the regime and commenced on maintenance dose of 2 sachets - but wondering did the clear out work - I was expecting more to be honest as recent xray showed entire colon impacted?

Hi

Yes it does, will be a difficult few days clearing out but once the balance of mix is right it works. Well, at least it does for my daughter.
