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.

2.5year old withholding and is now refusing toilet/potty sits.
He is on daily
movicol
(it's adjusted every day depending on how long he holds on for) and after 3 days of holding, I start the stimulant (doctors advice). Any advice would be very welcome. I'll try anything.

8 year old son anal skin tags and fear of pooing
He is on
Movicol
so his poo is soft. I think it doesn't hurt as much as he says and it's more a psychological fear. Does anyone have any advice please? Are we doing the right thing by letting him decide when he tries?

Reduction in movicol dose = bedwetting
Just wondering if anyone has tried to wean off
movicol
and it's then caused an increase in bedwetting?

11 year old boy, occassional soiling -round lumps
He has just started on
movicol
, which has him pooing 3 times a day (Bristol 5), while previously he was going only every 4 days. Is that a backlog coming out? Would that shift any longterm backlog which may have accumulated.

Please help - first time disimpacting
He suggested 16
movicol
sachets per day but we just can’t get that amount into her. Maybe managing 9 plus 10 mls picosulphate. This has been since Wednesday and she’s only had 2 dirty nappies. Both very loose with lots of undigested food.

Constipation and leaking wee!
Over the years we have done several disimpactations and we finally got it under control where she was on half a sachet if of
movicol
daily. But we find she’ll do really well for 6 weeks or so and then she’ll have a few days of no poo and we’re back to square one.

5 days of withholding... do I increase Movicol or need suppository or laxative?
We’ve been on maintenance
Movicol
1/day for my 3 year old & made great progress. She’s been withholding lately & we’ve now gone 5 days without a poo. So, I increased the
Movicol
to 1.5 for the last 2 days (ie when we got to 3rd day of no poo).

Alternative to movicol for disimpaction?
From reading all the posts on this site, it seems
movicol
is the best for disimpaction but is there any other medicine I can disimpact her with? She hates the
movicol
and vomits it back up. Maybe I just need to up the dosage of lactulose?

Bowel prep for colonoscopy - long post. Sorry.
The doc recommended "Picolax" plus some
Movicol
(softener). But I also purchased some softener and Dulcolax tablets from chemist to start things moving. By Friday, I had still not received the Picolax from hospital so i had to call them.

Feeling helpless
I've had all the tests and gastroenterologist has just said to take
movicol
everyday and use epsom salts once a month. I've been on low fodmap for much longer than I should be too and I just don't know where else to turn, I'm so fed up with it running my life but nothing seems to work.

3 year 8 month old will only poo in nappy
My little boy suffered from constipation when he was a baby but this is much improved with one sachet of
movicol
per day and his stool is now very soft. We started potty training around 12 months ago and he has never managed to poo in potty or toilet.

Constipated 3 year old - 4th day of no poo
Have given Senna for 3 nights & am upping the Laxido (
Movicol
) from 1 sachet to 2/3 depending on what she’ll take. Have used sudacrem and now Metanium for the sore skin. Q- Could she have become impacted over the last few days?

4yr 3month old son still wetting pants and soiling or fully pooing in pants.
I have
movicol
and am going to trial it for a while. My niece has had constipation problems for many years,
movicol
didn't work very well, but since she went on sodium picosulphate she has improved massively. Any advice?

5yo and pooing in nappies
He’s on
Movicol
from the gp to keep things soft. I told him when I was desperate a few weeks ago that the current packet of nappies would be the last I buy. We’re down to the last 5 and he’s getting more anxious every day and pleading for me to buy another pack.

Right dose?
Paediatric Reg we saw in A&E yesterday said 2 doses
Movicol
today and tomorrow, then 4 the next 2 days, then 6 etc etc. However, just been reading the parent guide to disimpaction on ERIC and it says day 1 should be 4 sachets?? So confused..

Can you prevent withholding?
We have a maintenance dose of
movicol
and she goes for a poo on the toilet most days, sometimes if we have a change in routine or if she's not drank enough water she will regress a bit but we can usually get her back in a routine.

Update to Movicol, impaction, pain etc post
So, to update.. we have spent of today (Easter Sunday) at A&E after severe pains over the last couple of days. Turns out she is still impacted. The consultant that told us 1 sachet a day for 4 days would be sufficient was talking complete nonsense and has caused us to effectively waste nearly 3 weeks

Ongoing poo issues
My son poos continue to be a type 6 since we finished our
movicol
. I have tired to wean the pico but as soon as I do he stops going for about 3/4 days. I just need to know how to get his poo to a type 4/5 without stopping the pico. Many thanks
