Peristeen experience anyone?
My 5 yr old has been on
movicol
for a couple of yrs and frequently soils. Both the continence nurse and myself think that until she starts caring about pooing in her knickers no amount of
movicol
will change this as she isn't impacted.

Sodium Docusate
We started disimpaction on Tuesday and have been on
Movicol
12 sachets for the last 2 days. We've now been prescribed Sodium Docusate as well. I'm not sure if it's a good idea. Anybody have any experience with it at all? Thank you x

Day 7....help!
My 8yr old has been taking 12 sachets of
Movicol
(built up from 4) and started 3 doses of Docusate daily yesterday. It's not having much effect other than a bit of type 6 poo here and there. There's been no movement today.

A little lost!!
After years of being on
Movicol
plus Pico sulfate we still seem to get impacted, I’m also very keen on what she eats trying to make sure it’s good stuff, but this has a massive affect on her appetite so she is underweight and hight.

Day 3 of disimpaction. Help needed!
My son is on day 3 of disimpaction and has had 10 sachets of
Movicol
today. All he has passed is type 6 poo a couple of times. I was expecting hard poo and more of it. Does this sound ok? I'm feeling really anxious about it all. Thanks for any advice x

Movicol dilemas!!!!
My son has undergone discompaction programmes and his maintenance dose of
Movicol
is between 4 and 5 sachets of
movicol
. I have currently moved him back to 4 sachets. In my opinion he is to wet and it should be reduced but he doesn't do enough on a daily basis.

Should I stop medication?
She has been on
movicol
for a long time. She soils herself almost everyday and the doctor says this is a side effect of the medication.

IBS!
I take
movicol
to make me go but then I end up having bad diarrhoea for a few days. I can never find a balance. I have really bad bloating most days and bad gas. I eat well and exercise most days. Sometimes when I do go I feel like I haven’t fully emptied my bowel!?

Mycophenolate update after Rheumy appt
CalcichewD3, Vit D (both prescribed by my oncologist incidentally), Amitriptyline,
Movicol
(which granted I've not needed during the 'loose' stage this past week+). Of course I'm thrilled to cut down my meds so we can unclog me, but the Amitriptyline is for sleep.

She takes
movicol
and is about to start disempaction for the second time next week, the first time did nothing and because she didn’t react as expected she was effectively discharged.

Currently I am taking
movicol
, senacot and I am following the endo diet. I don’t know if this is related to endo or not. Also once a month when I am meant to be on my period I get frequent urination and horrendous pelvic pain.

He’s also in extreme gastric pain which the
movicol
definitely makes worse.

Disimpaction - nearly 10year old
My son is nearly 10 years old and we have been given
movicol
previously, which helped so it was then stopped but recently he’s started soiling himself again and is now back in medicine. How do people approach the school?

Older boy with a busy life...disimpaction help!
The doc has said we can just do a 1 day one and give him 8 sachets of
movicol
at once and ‘wait for the magic to happen’!! I took him off
movicol
as it was making the accidents worse, not better! What do those who have done disimpaction do about school/sports etc etc????
