at a loss again
We have been slowly reducing her
movicol
down - she is on 5 sachets a day, plus 2.5ml of pico and a fibre supplement. She had not had a formed poo since mid-June (all type 6/7) until a couple of days ago. She now has perfect type 4 poos.

Attended Late Effects Clinic - Answers at last
Peppermint tea helps but it also bring a "clearing" effect close to
Movicol
for me (not really but you get the idea) so I have been given Colpermin which are slow release peppermint oil to see if that helps.

Advice for pelvic pain please!!
The constipation was a trigger towards the bladder incontinence so I was put on
movicol
for a few months but it then started affecting my IBS so I came off this.

5yo Withholding, Soiling, Disimpaction, Soiling Again
We then reduced her maintenance dose to 4 sachets of
Movicol
, then 3 and now 2 over the course of a few weeks, judged on consistency. Since stopping disimpaction weāve tried to implement a good toilet routine with regular toilet sits. Sometimes sheāll go during these and sometimes not.

Movicol everyday/ Tummy ache
She has been on 1x
Movicol
every day for the past 4 years and if we miss it for a few days she will experience overflow. Then I will have to give her Dulcolax to clear out which she hates. This was all recommended by her consultant.

Advice needed
Can anyone let me know what time of day it's better to give the
movicol
? How long it takes after they have it so they need the toilet or is it different with every child? They are still at school / Pre-School and have been ok so far but obviously worried it will get worse before it gets better.

Withholding, pain and severe difficulty with oral medication
Have literally worked our way through everything on every website several times....even chocolate
Movicol
was too salty to her and she won't entertain it in ice-cream for example. Basically if she knows it's in there her brain won't let her do it - fight/flight response ensues straightaway.

6 week old digestive issues
We have been prescribed
movicol
, and baby gaviscon, but so scared to be over medicating him.... I am also constipated but afraid to take anything in case it makes him sicker. Has anyone else been through this? Looking for advice and some positive light at the end of the tunnel! X

Movicol dosage for child
Hi, pretty much from birth my daughter has had trouble passing stool, is now 14 months old and on
Movicol
. She has 1 sachet a day and this works, she starts going regularly and the poo becomes softer, but then she starts pooing 3-5 times a day. Is this normal?

Poo withholding 2yr old after potty training
He is on
movicol
from GP which means his poo is soft and sausage like, but he is still holding for days and hopping around and just terrified. We have tried books, exploring poo etc etc, and are clueless what the future holds.
