Disimpaction - Tea Water?????

[Furz-Kanone]

I'm at my wits end.

My toddler is on day 3 of the max dose. She's messing her pullups, too runny to get to the loo on time, but it also means the liquid poo is soaking into the pullup, making it look thicker and dark brown looking? So we have gravy with bits of food. But when she occasionally makes it to the loo it looks like the elusive rusty tea water... because it's diluted. Her poo smells more like sick than poo.

When I wipe her bum its just flaky brownish water coming off on the loo roll.

I have no idea if we're done or not and I have yet to get her to poo into a potty so I can see it unaffected by whatever it lands in.

Keep going, there should be no lumps and it shouldn't smell foul.

All change this afternoon! We're now on watery poo with tiny"flakes". I think we've got there??? 😂

Do you have a photo? You want a couple of occasions where it's consistently like this before you start reducing the doses down extremely slowly ie one sachet every days until you reach a suitable maintenance dose to remain on.

This was the last one. To be absolutely gross and graphic about it, I swirled it round and the brown at the bottom is like pale brown almost "flakes"? Like someone ground weetabix down to nothing (which is what she had for breakfast). When it's not "settled" and mixed together instead, it looks like rust water.

I'd say few more days, might be worth asking doctor for a stimulant.

Good job, you are almost there!

If using a nappy, try putting some kitchen roll or reusable cloth into the nappy or pull up to help decipher the poo stage. Hope this helps.
