Disimpaction day 2

[Hay37]

hello,

My daughter is on day 2 (6 sachets - aged 10) she’s have tummy cramps which are making her extremely upset. Is this normal?

she’s had 5 poos today bless her. So things are moving - excuse the pun. Hate seeing her so upset,

thank you

Yes absolutely normal. Keep going.

[Hay37 in reply to Yaleamanda]

she’s got no real appetite. Doesn’t want to eat. I’ve managed to get her to eat some granola, a small bowl of fruit and s couple of biscuits. Again is this normal?

Thank you

[Yaleamanda in reply to Hay37]

Yes all normal

my daughter has had a bout of constipation after generally being okay for 12 months. We are now building up the sachets… I’m going to keep her off school as she surely can’t be in school when in pain & being dis impacted. Have you kept your daughter off? And how did the school take it?

[Hay37 in reply to CheshireMama]

yes she will be off all of next week. School were great.

yes this is completely normal, it can be very painful for them. Doctor told me to give calpol to help with the pain x

Dear Hay37 , thanks for your post. it's normal to feel some discomfort as the laxatives start to get all that poo moving. Check out our podcasts on disimpaction hereeric.org.uk/podcast/episode...

UPDATE: We are on day 6 today, last night, a lot came out and I mean a lot. To the point where it blocked the toilet. This morning she has woke up and it’s looking like diarrhoea, orange/brown water. I think we are getting close. Her pains are less and she’s actually smiling. She said mommy, I feel lighter. Bless her
