I guess all you can do it up the Movicol until you get a decent poo then go from there.
I understand that the nurse probably doesn’t want her to become dependent on laxatives but to tell you to stop cold turkey I would say is unwise.
Has she got a decent toilet routine?
Not what you're looking for?
