Struggling With Disimpaction Regime

[Ellie_Jordi11]

Hi everyone. My 3yo son is on Day 11 of a disimpaction regime (using CosmoCol/Laxido macrogols and Senna as a stimulant alongside) and although we're making progress (poos are type 6 with bits of his undigested food in), we're still nowhere near rusty coloured water it seems. He's really struggling to have even 8 sachets and is getting nowhere near the 10 or 12. Today he's been hysterical about not wanting to drink (we've tried smoothies, milkshakes, juice, squash) and also tried putting the macrogols in his food but he refuses to touch it. My partner and I are at our wits end, we feel like we're trying everything but it's just not enough.Doesnt help that our GP told me to give him max 6 laxatives a day and get him down to 4 asap as his system will become dependent on them. Which I KNOW is completely untrue and a I feel so disappointed in my gp and let down by being given conflicting information.

Is the only way to sort this to increase his laxatives even if we have to force them down him? I just feel there has to be a better way? And if we force him, how on earth are we ever going to establish him on a maintenance dose?

Any advice is appreciated, I feel pretty desperate right now. Ps he has tons of fruit and veg and oats; his diet is really good.
