I’m having a right battle with my gps getting more movicol. Why are they so difficult? Are we there? Are we close? His tummy is now completely flat, no foul smell, just losing patience with the wiping 😂😂.

No you need to keep going.

Complete different consistency now, 15 minutes apart. It makes no sense.

That's why you need to keep going. You need watery stools with no lumps like rusty water for on at least two consecutive occasions before you know you are cleared out.

It’s difficult as one moment we are having type 7. Very very very watery and just corn and raisins in. Our issue is our little one loves corn and raisins and eats them daily.

Have you contacted the helpline on the Eric website, they may be able to advise on what to do.

Yeah bbUK said there’s no such thing as rusty tea! He’s disimpacted.

You have to do what you feel is best.

Well I’ll be following the advice and guidance from the professionals. That’s what they are there for! Our bowel nurse has been in the industry for 18 years and has never seen rusty tea water.
