Help!!
My daughter has been constipated for 9 days now. During this time she has taken a suppository (after much protest) which at least allowed her to empty her bowels once.
She has had lactilose and Calfig from time to time, but has now been prescribed Movicol sachets....oh dear....
She is a head-strong little lass - probably the majority of the reason why she is in this situation in the first place to be honest - and is now flatly refusing to take these sachets.
So far, we've tried dissolving them in water, milk, and orange juice, but none have worked, and she's spat it out saying it tastes horrid - it doesn't, you can hardly taste it (and I've tried it to be certain).
Anyone got any bright ideas as to how they have handled this? Is there anything else we could try?
She's in a state, and not getting better, despite the knowledge that poo doesnt come out any other way!!
Thanks for reading....
