Hi my son has been on the disimpaction powder for 3 days, it's all wet, thin brown liquid, nothing of any substance. Is this normal please? From what I have read it should be more to it than there is at this stage

Keep going, work upto the maximum dose for their age until you reach watery stools with no lumps consistently for a few days before you start reducing the doses down extremely slowly ie one dose every few days until you reach a suitable maintenance dose to remain on. Also how old is your child? How many sachets are they on?
