Movicol
Hi, what have you found works best for your child? I know they are all different. What flavour do you use? And what do you disguise it in? Many thanks x

Help, advice, support
We have seen a consultant who prescribed
movicol
as a magical cure but we are still not seeing an improvement.

Bedwetting alarms for Nocturnal enuresis
We have been under the paediatrician and changed diets, limited times of fluids, now on
Movicol
to see if bowels are making a difference. We have also been told to try bedwetting alarms. Has anyone got any advice? Feels like it’s just us at the moment. 🙁

Desperate for help - 5 year old soiling
We went to see a paediatrician about his development and she said she has no concerns and just use
movicol
to help the poos - but this makes it worse and means he has more accidents/soiling.

New drug Constella (Linaclotide)
I already take one and a half
Movicol
sachets per day and 25mg Amitriptyline. I have just been given a new drug called Constella 290mg but forgot to ask if I should take this with the
Movicol
. Can anyone also tell me if I can take this with peppermint oil capsules?

Does anyone know if......
Does anyone know if you can take
movicol
with these (Bifiodobacteria & fibre) ? I have tried everyday optibac tablet's and one week flat but they are now having little effect. Many thanks, Clumsy 🎀

8 year old deep sleeper & bed wetter
We've tried no drinks, drinking more, peeing more, peeing less,
movicol
(which to be fair seems to have solved any constipation he may have had) but nothing is working. The main problem as I see it is that he just does not wake up!

4yr old soiling again -what to do?
Over Christmas we missed some doses of
movicol
and his diet wasn’t the best. he had the odd accident but now it seems he has regressed. So what do we do now? Does re-soiling mean he’s constipated again ? Should we do another clear out or increase the maintenance dose of
movicol
?

Toilet training after disimpaction
I am constantly adjusting the maintenance
movicol
dose but it makes no difference. I am going back to the doctor tomorrow as I am worried that he is still pooing so much but I wondered if anyone had any experience of attempting potty training while this sort of thing was going on?

Kefir has really helped with chronic constipation
He’s been on
movicol
but never knew when he needed to go and always leaked even though he wasn’t constipated. We added senna and that really worked to begin with - he started getting urges and there were less leakages.

Sodium Picosulfate for 20 month year old.
Our little man is currently on
Movicol
but will still sometimes withhold. Rather than increasing his dose, he’s been prescribed Sodium Picosulfate to use as well. We’ve been told to use it long term. He’s no longer constipated but he still withholds. I’m worried about him becoming dependent.

5 year old still poos himself. Help
He seems constipated as only poos a little at a time but won't drink
movicol
or hardly drink anything. If I notice him straining he will refuse to sit in the toilet. We brought the potty downstairs in the hope that it would help but no. I've tried reward charts etc.

Reassurance needed please. Movicol and withholding.
I'm so worried that his bowel will be dependent on the
Movicol
and he won't ever be off it. 😞

4 year old boy wetting
Movicol
makes poo incidents a complete nightmare, so we barely use it now. Hes not constipated, hes stubborn! Help. I regularly tear up and cry about it (not in front of him). I could go on and on. Advice would be helpful :-(

Movicol help
Hi there My son is 3 1/2 and he has been on 1 - 2 sachets of
Movicol
a day for the last 5 ish months. I think we are at the maintenance stage but it can vary. He is mostly doing soft poos but very large sometimes.
