She has struggled with constipation for over a year and is 23mo. The GP initially said she won't prescribe it as DD has a condition which affects potassium and salt levels and becuase of some of the ingredients she was concerned. Just had a letter from DD's endocrinologist saying its ok to use it though and then got a referral to the constipation clinic in our area. I'm a bit jittery about using it now even though the consultant said it fine! Is it quite strong stuff? She is on lactulose but still has bad problems and is holding now too. She is steroid dependant and so on two types but also on ranitidine so I always wonder if its medication related and if so, would movecol actually help? She eats really well and drinks lots of water.
