Movicol help (again!)
I have taken a sachet of
Movicol
every night for the past 7 years after a rectocele repair and hysterectomy. On top of the IBS I've suffered from for 30 years, the need to take
Movicol
is the bane of my life because it exacerbates the IBS symptoms.

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.

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.

Disimpacted 9 year old and still soiling
Or is she unable to control it due to too much
movicol
? She is also very bloated and starting to describe herself as fat which breaks my heart. We are helpless. Brown bread, dairy free butter and milkā¦ lots of fruit and vegetables and lots of water.

Chronic Constipation/UTI/ASD
In April last year he was in hospital with an impacted bowel (he had been on
movicol
once daily for roughly a year before this). We disimpacted at home and continued with daily dose
movicol
. Since April we have had to disimpact 4 times.

Continuous constipation Dr's unwilling to help š
He's been on
Movicol
for over 2 years with no checkup from his Dr's no matter how much I chase and his current Dr's has refused to try a stimulant even after mentioning the duty of care I'd seen on the Eric website.

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.

6 week old digestive issues
We have been prescribed
movicol

How can I help my granddaughter 3 years 4 months who withholds urine and fears passing faeces on the toilet?
We're had a couple of failed toilet training events despite following all the behavioural/ diet/fluid tips and using lactulose(she won't have
movicol
) to keep the stool soft. When wearing a nappy she will stand, with 'banana' legs as she witholds the stool.
