Keep going it can take time. Dont give up, it will happen and it's worth doing properly otherwise you will end up back to square one again. Are you mixing the movicol with the correct amount of water per sachet? Is he drinking enough fluids on top of the movicol as this does not count towards their daily allowance of fluids.
He’s drinking plenty and each sachet is mixed right. His specialist has said to stick to senna and reduce to 4 sachets. Still off his food and having tummy ache
