Macrogols in eggs or porridge etc

Those of you that have put macrogols into porridge and scrambled eggs can I ask how you do it. I'm sure i read somewhere not to heat the liquid so do you add it afterwards? I'm not sure how it would bind with the egg if added after? Porridge I can see working but it's a lot of liquid to add to a small bowl of porridge if already cooked

It is correct information that Macrogol fluid should not be heated. It can be added to cooled porridge. Depending on the consistency your child likes their porridge may effect how much you can add.

This is what I was thinking, not really worth it to only use maybe a 1/4 of the solution. We are really struggling, was meant to be 8 again today and she only managed 4, yesterday we managed 6 of the 8 and she threw up 😕 she just can't cope with the amount of fluids, if she has the meds she won't drink water as she's full, also not eating for the same reason. So far we've had liquid poo, for 5 days now, no old pooh all light brown stuff. But I gave her sweetcorn on Sunday teatime and we've not seen that yet 🙁
