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.

Nearly there with disimpaction?
I truly hope we're there and can start reducing
movicol
sachets.

Giggle/ stress incontinence teenager.
After years of trying we have finally met with a specialist - who has suggested
movicol
and exercises (despite the fact we have already done this for years!)

Disimpaction?
I doubled his
Movicol
dose for a week and found that his bladder was less overactive. I'm going to keep him on the higher dose of
Movicol
but I'm in a such a dilemma about trying another disimpaction?

About to start disimpaction treatment.....
(He was diagnosed as having IBS age 3) We are going to start
Movicol
soon, how realistic are the time guidelines? We were told after a week he would be cleared out yet from reading other posts I think that it might take longer.

Docusate v macrogol?
I have obstructive defecation syndrome (anismus) and have been taking macrogol (
Movicol
) for some time but this was making the motions too loose to push out effectively.

Toddler Soiling up to 10 Times Per Day - STRESSED OUT MUM - HELP!
She was prescribed
Movicol
which helped and all was great. We managed to toilet train her in November and she was doing really well until a week before Christmas when she started having up to 10 soiling accidents per day. The GP thought this was overflow so asked us to continue with
Movicol
.

When to wean off the movicol maintenance dose?
She has a maintenance dose of 2 sachets of
movicol
that I tried to wean down to 1.5 a couple of weeks ago but after lots of soiling in nursery I went back up to 2 again about a week ago. When should I think about reducing the
movicol
again? Or should I stay at 2?

Nearly 4.5yr old son still having accidents both urine and faeces, will use toilet when took or sent, but not telling anyone he needs to go.
My son was trialled on
movicol
a while ago, but it was stopped after a week, as watery stools. Didn't need it really, but wanted to rule out constipation causing the accidents. He has regular poos, around 4-5 per week.

Bladder training - advised to go every 2 hours but my son can only manage 30-40 minutes.
He is on
movicol
in case he is constipated. We have seen a paediatrician and a urologist both of whom advise that he should pee every 2 hours. I'm so confused.

Soiling but not constipated?!
Hi there, my 7 year old has been on
Movicol
since starting school as she got constipated and refused to poo on the toilet for years despite being potty trained and dry at night prior to this.
