My daughter's on going constipation and Movicol
I've been to gp and she's given
Movicol
as lactose didn't work. She is taking 2/3 to 1 full sachet of
Movicol
every day at the moment. She opens her vowel once a day almost everyday. Having said that, she still gets constipation time to time. Therefore we end up using suppository.

Stopping Movicol - how long does it take to get out of the system?
My daughter is 9 and has been on
Movicol
since August after recurrent UTIs which they think was caused by constipation (she only went once every 5 days and it was a massive poo).

Just started on our laxative journey
So we have just started on
movicol
laxatives one week ago, he has been having one sachet, but today we gave two (although he probably didn’t actually drink a full two sachets). We are still experiencing a lot of withholding and he is really miserable.

Vomiting & constipation
Given
Movicol
to start in doses up to 12. Tomorrow is day 15 of
Movicol
. She has passed some sort of poo everyday but never this disimpaction I don’t think that GP told us about. Today still plenty of poo. The thing that is really worrying me is the relentless nausea & vomiting.

Overflow or too much lax?
I am really struggling to determine if the bouts of poo accidents we sometimes experience with our 9 year old are due to over flow or that we need to reduce her
Movicol
. I always assumed over flow was liquid and would be really stinky or hve occasional hard bits in it.

Toddler constipation and withholding
GP prescribed
movicol
but is very difficult to find the right balance. She sometimes leaks small amounts of poo all day and other days will do one big poo (but nearly always in her knickers and she will try and stop the poo coming). Nothing seems to motivate her! Any advice?!

4yo lost feeling during horrid bout of painful constipation... should I be worried?
Son has been on
movicol
since he was a baby and has had approximately 4 bouts of horribly painful constipation in his life so far. We ran out of
movicol
on holiday 🤦♀️, so went without for a few days... and then went over a week without bowel movements after the first painful poo (withholding).

4 year old withholding -movicol advice needed
After reading several of the posts on here, it’s seems quite clear that I need to start her on
movicol
. Has anyone started this without being advised to by the doctor? My concern with this is she only drinks water. She drinks a lot of it but is very particular about tastes and trying new things.

HELP! Opinions needed on 8 year old daughter in severe pain when passing soft stools?
On occasions she has clearly been constipated and eventually passed large amounts of poo following a few days of
movicol
treatment. We are hesitant to give her regular large doses of
Movicol
as more often than not she is in pain but only passes small amounts of very soft/sticky poo.

Symptoms for six months
The problem is so bad, I can barely open my bowel at all, unless I take sachets of
movicol
. I have recently had some blood in my stools. My tummy is very bloated. Occasionally I feel sick and last week I was very sick, although I have no problems eating or drinking.
