At my wits end…
Just after a bit of support, my 6 year old has had a “poo problem” for 3 years now. She started off struggling to poo, we went to gp and they gave her lactulose, that didn’t work so they added senna and it just got worse and worse. She then went on movicol up to 12 sachets to clear her out , which it

Slow transit constipation
Hi there, Calling all sufferers, and wanted to ask what works for you and if senna is the only thing that gets things moving for you? I have been suffering with slow transit constipation since having my daughter with a c-section. I’m pretty sure it was the stomach surgery that’s caused it. I’ve spent

Drastically worse IBS-C/constipation for no apparent reason, after 19 years
Hi - I am posting to see if anyone has ever had a very sudden and drastic worsening in their symptoms of IBS-C/problems emptying the bowel? I have had IBS-C/constipation for nearly 20 years, and 10 years ago it got far worse after a surgery. Since that time it improved and has been consistent for

4 year old starting school and still will only poo in a pull up
My 4 year old starts reception in 2 weeks and still cannot poo in the toilet, only in a pull up, despite 2 years of me trying and failing to achieve this. He also soils and is on Movicol and Senna. If I am slow to give him a pull up (in the hope that as he’s so desperate to go it might just slip out

Rhubarb Complex
Would anyone who uses this or has used please share their opinion? I would be using it for contipation, and am using fybergel and docusate at the moment. I am very bloated and still constipated but I am going to the toilet. I am concerned about how long it takes to work and if it gives urgency. At work

Docusate v macrogol?
Please can anyone explain to me the difference between Docusate and macrogol? I have obstructive defecation syndrome (anismus) and have been taking macrogol (Movicol) for some time but this was making the motions too loose to push out effectively. My consultant has now switched me to Docusate as he

Can someone explain how a stimulant will work on top of movicol?
My daughter is 3.5 and been withholding since she was a baby. We got her to a point where she was pooing every day without soiling but we are back to soiling again but still doing normal poos every day. I don't think shes blocked up as I can see sweetcorn/kidney beans in her poo the day after eating

Constipated 3 year old - 4th day of no poo
Help! We thought the end was in sight & had established a reasonable pattern wirh my 3year old. But this week it’s all gone wrong... She hasn’t had a proper poo for 5 days. She’s had some small smushes & tiny poos (wouldn’t say soiling but not sure). She’s scared of going for a poo now as she knows it

Anything out of the ordinary?
Hi all, sorry for the graphic picture first! Does this like anything out of the ordinary? I.e., would you say it’s bloody, normal or diarrhoea, etc. Had some specs of blood on tissue for around 6/8 weeks now and initially I thought it may be just a cut. Usually have two pretty big poops in the morning

Constant battle to get son to drink/poo/take medicine/sit on toilet. Anyone else struggling?
My son is 4 and has been struggling with soiling for over 6 months now. He’s been on Movicol/Laxido since Feb and now on Senna since April. What I’m struggling with is the constant battle with my son to get him to drink/sit on toilet/drink sachet/poo. He will only poo in a pull up sitting on toilet

Picolax - what to expect?
Me again - so my daughter’s ultrasound was clear but an X-ray showed her being considerably backed up. The consultant has prescribed Picolax & Senna in combination for 24 hours (on a non school day) to clear her out. Does anyone have any experience of this mediation for their child?

Nearly there with disimpaction?
Hi, can someone advise whether we have reached the end stage of disimpaction please? Apologies for detailed content and pic! We've had 3 days of mainly brown water with brown/black small splutters of poo and today yellowish water with yellow small splutters. Is the yellow fresh poo or has it turned yellow
