Anger and behavioural issues
On 1-2 sachets of
movicol
daily, picosulpate 10mls a day, Desmopressin 250mg for night time wetting. Generally clean at school, only happens at home or relatives houses. It is hugely adversely affecting his behaviour, we have huge bouts of anger and physical outbursts to deal with.

4 year old on movicol, but won't drink it!
If I dilute it enough so that the
movicol
can't be tasted, the quantity of it is too great and he won't drink it anyway. It's a real stumbling block. I've resorted to mixing the
movicol
water with hot chocolate but I don't think this is recommended.

Laparoscopy Update
They did give me a box of
Movicol
to take and OMG the pain, I hadn't had a BM 2 days before surgery. I tried everything to go in empy but just couldn't go.

Drastically worse IBS-C/constipation for no apparent reason, after 19 years
I went from needed 1
movicol
a day, to needing 6
movicol
, multiple different stimulants, and finding older medicines like linaclotide, milk of magnesia or senna don't work. An x-ray showed nothing, so not cancer. It's so bad that my next step is to request to be fitted with a stoma bag.

Soiling at school.
My 4yr old son was born with his bowels on the outside, he's been on
movicol
/laxido for 3 years and senokot for the past year. Nothing seems to work, we have a good month or so then it goes downhill.

What tends to happen towards the end of disimpaction?
Our daughter has been on 8 sachets of
Movicol
for for the last two days. Today we have been though countless nappies but most of them were absolutely tiny amounts. We were kind of expecting today to be the last day, it’s been leading towards it for the last couple of days.

Accidents at school
At the end of the summer we disimpacted and then settled on a maintenance dose of 2 sachets of
movicol
and I don’t think he is constipated any more - we are no longer getting overflow poos and he is largely doing poos in the toilet but I don’t know what to do about school….

I'm lost
He's fully refusing
movicol
and i don't blame him he's been on and off of it for nearly two years . He's fully compacted again and leaking . The gp isn't helping. The school nurse hadn't got back to me in nearly 2 years. The peadiatrics won't take him on without school nurse In put.

Almost 4 year old pooing in pants
We have had a lot of difficulties and he has been on
movicol
daily for over a year as after speaking to ERIC we identified that constipation was causing him to not know when he needed to wee.

4 year old starting school and still will only poo in a pull up
He also soils and is on
Movicol
and Senna. If I am slow to give him a pull up (in the hope that as he’s so desperate to go it might just slip out in the toilet) he just holds it and will say he doesn’t need one even though he’s clenching to keep it in!

Strategies to stop withholding
We have done 3
movicol
clear outs in the last 6 weeks. The first time, we didn’t get to brown water. The second we did (it was a VERY messy weekend with lots of showers) and he seemed to improve, now the poo accidents are back again and we have just done a 3rd clear out.

Disabled son with very high fecal calprotectin
He is non verbal so all i know is he gets painfully bloated, needs
movicol
daily to even go to the toilet on the Neocate and when something upsets his gut he has bloody mucousy loose stools. He wears nappies still and when in a flare up can have in excess od 10 bowel motions a day.

Medication & mental health guidance
She’s has 3 desimpactations, two of
Movicol
and one at the hospital with a tube up her nose. She is now only on 10ml of Senna a day. We’ve found when she takes it she gets belly aches, her poos are very runny and explosive and she has bigger accidents.

After Dis-impaction
We finally talked her mum into putting her on
Movicol
and she had been on it since about February. She started on the highest dose and has slowly worked her way down to just two sachets a day.

Can someone explain how a stimulant will work on top of movicol?
We've also had a lot of changed in her routine lately (new nursery, new house and baby brother) She has a maintenance dose of two sachets of
movicol
and I've seen loads of suggestions of senna so I'm considering asking the GP for it. What does senna actually do?

6 year old soiling
He still has
Movicol
so I'm not sure if this could be linked to that or too busy doing other stuff / laziness maybe. It doesn't seem like he tries when he is sat on the toilet, though I guess it is hard to know how much effort is actually going on.
