Day 10 of disimpaction but stuck

0 Replies

Hi All - We have an 11 year old on day 10 of disimpaction (8 adult Laxido's per day). She has also been on Sodium Picosulphate (stimulant laxative) for the last few days. For the last 7 days she's been passing runny gravy type poo but it's not changing towards the Tea Water we are supposed to see. We are not seeing any of the old dark bits of poo - just bits of undigested veg. During this period she has been feeling very poorly - nausea, tummy cramps, exhausted. She has not been to school.

Does anyone have any advice? We just can't see any end to this and worry that she won't reach the tea-water stage and we are just making her ill for no reason. She does not withhold passing stools and is rehydrating and eating well on top of the Laxido. She detests drinking the stuff though! We are measuring it exactly every time.

Any advice or thoughts would be gratefully received.
