Still having poo accidents

[Wishingforcleanpants]

Any advice? Really struggling with my soon to be six year old daughter. Have been on laxido for a while including a couple of attempts at disimpactions. Maintenance dose is currently 2 sachets twice a day and she is pooing every day. Still having poo accidents every day after a week of being great and even being dry at night. This all started after lockdown. I’m starting to wonder if stress is playing a part as her diet is so good, she is drinking and doing toilet tries after meals and I’m at my wits end!!!

Did you reach full disimpaction? Did you remain on the maximum dose of 12 sachets once you reached rusty water looking poo and stay there for 3 consecutive days before you started reducing the doses down veru slowly i.e. one sachet every 3 days?

Thanks for reply - we didn’t need to get to 12 before it was brown water and she stayed loose while reducing slowly and was great for a week. Then back to square 1 with no change in diet but lockdown announced so just wondering if anyone had any experience of toileting accidents being caused by stress?

Stress and change can be a contributory factor but soiling which you describe in your original comment is a sign of impaction.
