Disimpaction!

Hello I've posted before about my 6 near 7 year old daughter needing to do this! Well good news we are on day 4 and she is smashing it im so proud! So she had 10 today she needs 12 for the next 3 days but without going into too much detail its very loose now so if its really runny do I still need to finish the last 3 days of disimpaction or can we lower the dosage each day? Thank you

You are aiming for rusty water looking poo, once you get there stdg there for 3 consecutive days to ensure they are completely disimpscted, then start to reduce the doses down very very slowly ie one sachet every 3 days until you reach a suitable dose to remain on. Don't be tempted to finish too quickly or reduce too quickly. Disimpaction can take time.

Not what you're looking for?
