Hints and tips to get 7 year old to take sodium picosulfate (stimulant).

We’re just starting disimpaction process and have a very fussy child. I’m pretty sure he’ll hate the picosulfate and just wondered how people were administering this. What can I use that’s not juice to disguise the taste?

We used Movicol for the disimpaction process, we added it to hot chocolate, smoothies, soup. As long as you add the correct dosage of water, it can be added to most things.

If you haven’t already watch the poo nurses video on youtube. It’s really good and helps both child and parent understand what is happening and why the disimpaction is so important.
