Movicol

Hi all, looking for advice tried my doctor but really not any further forward. I done a disimpaction regime with my son a few months which seemed to clear, he is on movicol and been advised to do a 4 sachet Maintenance dose per day. In the 2 weeks he has started soiling again around 3 times per day and passing very runny poos, but when i then sit him on the toilet he will pass lots of snake like poos(not sure if this makes sense) he had some sweetcorn last night around 6pm for his dinner and it was passed through by around 2pm, is he impacted again or should i decrease the dose of movicol? Is it diarrhoea? Any help appreciated. Thanks

Definitely sounds like impaction, snake like poos are a sure sign.

Not what you're looking for?
