DD, 8, has been on Movicol since Feb. Started with the disimpaction regime and then onto a 2 sachet maintenance dose. About 8 weeks in, she missed a few days poos and started soiling again. Increased dose for a week or so, then pulled it back to 2 and, on advice of GP, back to 1 per day. We've had 6/8 good weeks with no soiling ... until she, again, didn't poo for 3/4 days. Poo'ed Sat and Sun, lots of soiling Monday and more again today. What's going on? How do you know when is the right time to reduce from 1 to 0.5? I'm suspecting she got a little bunged up over the few days but would have thought Sat and Sun would have cleared her out.
Back to school in a couple of weeks and this is really affecting her confidence. She's very down. Not sure what to do. Any advice please?
Thanks
