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.

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?

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..

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.

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?

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

Update..what a day
They say she doesn't need
Movicol
but then they can't say what is causing the pain. Is it possible to pay for a private scan or xray just to see what's actually going on in there?? And if so, which is the better option? Thanks again.

How to tell if child is disimpacted?
My 9 year old daughter had an x Ray just over a week ago that showed severe constipation and she has been on four senna a night plus we are now on day 5 of 12 sachets of
movicol
. Her tummy still hurts and she hasn’t reached the “rusty water” stage yet. Do we persevere on these high doses?

9 year old son - ongoing constipation / Senna alternative
Currently re introduced
Movicol
, to get things moving a regular - with limited success, in that it has got things moving at least. Pharmacist has suggested Lactulose. My son says he now experiences a pushing sensation. I don't know whether to just switch to lactulose to see what happens.

5 years and always constipated
I feel like it's not only about his diet or
movicol
. It feels like something else. He's starting to feel embarrassed because of leaks pf poo on his underwear, wetting the bed almost every night. .. How do we build their self esteem ? What else can be done medically? Any other experiences?

Movicol maintenance dose
My 4 year old daughter finished her disimpaction regime at the start of this week and I’m struggling to find a maintenence dose of
Movicol
. The continence nurse said to keep trying different dosages to find the right one but she’s only had one sachet this morning and she’s still really loose.
