My ds is 7 and has been on movicol for nearly two years. This was due to occasional soiling ie every couple of weeks. He seems fine when on one sachet a day but every time we try to stop it he has another accident. I thought the time on the movicol was meant to let the bowel return to normal and thought we should be able to stop it by now. What is causing this and has anyone been successful in coming off it? I'm trying to get him to sit on the toilet before bed every night whether he feels he needs to go or not and this often works so I stopped the movicol about 3 weeks ago again to try but he has had the soiling again a couple of times since. Should he be referred to a specialist or is there no need for this?
Thanks
