My little girl is nearly 4, and for the last year she has been petrified of going for a poo after a bout of constipation made it very sore for her. Trouble is, now she's caught in a cycle of withholding to the point where it becomes very hard, dry and uncomfortable for her to go. I've taken her to the doctors on a few occasions but all they will do is prescribe Movicol, which just makes the stool more liquidated and results in even more messy knickers. She refuses to even go near a nappy or a pull up (which I've reluctantly tried as a last resort) and now I'm genuinely at the end of my tether. I don't know how much more I can take of the chasing her around with wipes and listening to her scream in agony when she really needs to let it out :( HELP!
