constipation and tummy pain now led to food anxiety

My 9 year old has been taking Laxido for almost 3 years, she has a maintenance dose of 3 sachets. She has been unwell on numerous occasions while eating out. This led to a fear of eating while out which has now led to anxiety around food in general even at home an she will eat very little. We have to plan our whole day around meals. This has happened over the course of 6 months. The doctor has said we have to self refere to the local counselling service, the GP will keep an eye on her weight as this is dropping. Is there anyone else who could help? We have a first appointment with the continence nurse at the end of the month.
