can anyone give me any success stories with movicol and constipation. dd who is nearly 4, never had any digestive problems until a few weeks ago. noticed she was soiling herself only little bits though and then crying with pain on using the toilet. prescried movicol but stopped after a week as no improvement and tried her instead with prune juice, wheat germ, wholemeal everything, apples etc. still no improvment and tuesday this week i nearly had a nervous breakdown as soiled herself all day. back to docs and told to take 2 sachets of movicol a day and she could be on it for as long as 6-12 months! please give me some reassurance that things will get better and she won't become reliant on these things!
