Movicol following D&V bug?

2 replies

northerngoldilocks · 29/04/2012 21:56

Wondered if anyone had any advice pls. DS is 13 months and has been on 1 sachet of movicol a day for about 6 weeks. It's been working really well- he poos every day now so seems the right dose and wasn't looking to cut it back yet as we tried about a week ago and he didn't poo again.

Anyway- he's had D&V so haven't given him any. Doesn't have diaarhea any more but his poos are still loose- wondered if anyone could advise when to start movicol again- not keen to let him get constipated before doing so as can't imagine the bug has been a miracle cure on that front !

I'm not a dr but my dd has been on movical for a while. personally i would wait until you have been 36 hrs with no poo and then start again. i wouldnt start it while his poos are still loose. hth.
