The dosage for disimpaction sounds strange it normally goes 2,4,6,8,10,12 until it's liquid and the does to a maintenance dose of maybe two. Have a look at the poo nurses video . Good luck

My daughter withheld at age four because of a painful episode. Glad to hear you have got advice and Movicol as this was a lifesaver for us. My daughter managed to hold it for 3 days whilst she started the Movicol but eventually everything started to move. We had a few accidents as everything was very loose but then we reduced the dose and are now been on a maintenance dose for the last 6 months. I really hope things work out for you. My daughter if 5.5 now and things are so much better. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Good luck. Xx
