Movicol.

Hello. My two year old daughter is suffering terribly with constipation. We've been prescribed Movicol but she will not take it. Not even the chocolate version.
Does anyone have any clever and sneaky ideas on how we could disguise it please? Thank you in advance as I'm just learning how to use this website so will try to reply.

Stirred into fruit flavoured yoghurt or something else she'll eat happily. With a glass of water at the same time (don't tell her what you're up to obviously!).
Use the movicol water to make up portions of jelly?

Add orange / blackcurrant squash to the water? You can buy flavourless movicol which would be easier to disguise.

We put it in yoghurt!

We added it to orange juice couldn’t taste it at all just make sure they finish the whole glass then you know they have the full dose.

Ah just read you have the chocolate one how about in chocolate milk I used to dissolve it in the water and then mix with water drink

We used to put it on our sons weetabix.

We hated the chocolate one, next time ask for plain…. We hide it in her morning water with the tiniest hint of squash.

Dd has autism and couldn't tollerate the texture of movicol but can laxido. She has the flavourless laxido made up with a small amount of cordial and then drinks a half pint of water.
