Nearly 4 year old still holding poo after disimpaction
He is on 1/2 sachet of
Movicol
a day as per our HV advice, if we kept him in nappies he would easily poo every day but we don't want to keep relying on nappies as it makes him lazy with weeing.

Yet another update
Mixed opinions re impaction, but agreement at least around some level of constipation so on low ish level of
Movicol
/Laxido. Numerous tests, still in pain but now also with an absolute fear of eating.

Constant battle to get son to drink/poo/take medicine/sit on toilet. Anyone else struggling?
He’s been on
Movicol
/Laxido since Feb and now on Senna since April. What I’m struggling with is the constant battle with my son to get him to drink/sit on toilet/drink sachet/poo.

Disempactation
5 yo disempactation: Hi we started my son on
movicol
. He’s 5. Day 1 : 4 sachets, Day 2-4 : 6 sachets, Day 5-8 : 6 sachets. We though we had achieved disempactation on day 7 when the poo was runny milk chocolate light in colour no bits, but today we had a thicker (loose peanut butter) Dark poo?!

4 year old can only poo in certain position
My 4 year old has always had trouble with stool being too soft and sticky, she was recently hospitalised as she got completely blocked up for 2 weeks and needed intervention, she is on
movicol
and is able to pass but she still can only manage it if she is wearing a nappy with her feet under her bottom

8 year old with bowel incontinence
He’s on
Movicol
, we’ve done disimpaction regimes, regular toiletting, I know all the advice about toilet sitting etc. Nothing is working, and as each year goes by I think to myself , right , this is the year we’re going to get this sorted, and it’s not happening.

6 year old withholding stool
We were giving
movicol
and lactulose which was making her soil and she eventually went, but have now added Senna and dropped the lactulose on GP advice. Currently on day 3 of the Senna but nothing yet. Has anyone had a similar experience? How long did the Senna take to work?

IBS/Bleeding update
I've been told to keep taking the
Movicol
to take some pressure off my body overreacting to my bowels trying to do their job and the usual routine of buscopan, a hot water bottle and a good nap if the pain gets intolerable.
