Constipation or impaction?
She got very ill on the disimpaction dosage and ended up in a and e and were told to stop the
movicol
. Two weeks later she was constipated again, a gap of 4 days then 2 very hard large poo. So we are back on
movicol
at 3 sachets a day and she has loose, runny poo.

Advice for chronic functional constipation
We are lucky in that he takes the medication well (senna 15ml and
movicol
three sachets a day). We are now at a stage where we feel he is clear of poo but he still refuses to go himself to the toilet. Some days he will by himself the next he won’t even when asked to sit and try.

My daughters weight loss is worrying me
She’s been to the doctors numerous times and been given fibrogel,
movicol
, various things to try and get her bowels moving.which hasn’t really worked. She’s now been sent for blood tests and all has come back normal but she still can’t poo normally.

Are we back to square 1?
We've been on this journey a while, done all the disimpactions etc until she is now without
movicol
, we even got discharged from the continence service in July, I thought it was all over but the last 3 weeks my 9 year old daughter has had what suspiciously looks like overflow in her pants, it's happened

5 1/2 year old stool issues- potty training for 2 years- what do i do next?!
So now we are on half a
movicol
a day, his muscles are great, if you gave him a promise of something he wanted he could squeeze out a poo instantaneously so has the capability but no drive to do this himself.

Speed of Movicol/ osmolax and dairy reactions.
How fast can
movicol
get things moving?. My daughter is on a maintenance dose of 1 sachet morning and 1 afternoon. This morning she had a hard poo ( for her but was a type 4) we are meant to be aiming for type 5-6.

4 year old withholding again after 2 years
I upped the
movicol
and added some lactulose and she eventually passed a hard stool under a great many tears and is now withholding despite being on 4-5
movicol
plus lactulose for the last three days.... she says her bottom and tummy hurt, she is really tired, cries at times and lacks appetite.

Movicol causing stomach pain
My question is has anyone else experienced these side effects with
Movicol
/Osmolax ( I can’t think of anything else causing the cramps) . I also wondered if any one has done a mixed laxative plan using lactulose and
movicol
as this may be my next plan of action. Thanks team! 😁

Autism Global Delay Non Verbal & Constipation
He’s been on
movicol
for a couple of years now but it’s hit & miss. He won’t drink it during the day at all so we are mixing it to the correct dose with his favourite flavour water. He’s also still in nappies as he has non concept of toilets or what is expected of him.

disimpaction required or not?
This one was good consistency but quite large so not sure if it was too big indicating stretched bowel requiring disimpaction or whether just to carry on trying to get correct
movicol
level? Picture of the second bigger stool. Apologies 🤣

So confused....constipation or not?
The Dr prescribed him
movicol
and I have been giving him one a day but it seems to have made him soil more. I have tried leaving off it for a week or so and then he didn’t go at all and had watery leakage so I started it again.

Movicollege vs cosmocol
Movicol
vs cosmocol. Hello, our consultant prescribed
movicol
but our GP insisted that cosmocol is the same and will only prescribe that. The ingredients look almost identical but our consultant clearly wanted us to move from cosmocol to
movicol
. Anyone else know any differences? Thanks folks

Disimpaction
We’re doing a disimpaction this week while we are off school, and I’m currently upping the
movicol
daily. My question is, once we get to the watery stage, and want to reduce
movicol
, do we cut straight back to our maintenance dose or do it slowly? Thanks in advance 😊
