Constipation

My little girl, almost 3, has constipation and the dr has prescribed Movicol laxatives….we have a box of unflavoured and a box of chocolate….she wanted to try the chocolate one, but she took one sip and doesn’t like it….anyone had this with their little ones who can offer any tips? It says not to mix it with milk 🫤 Thanks 😊

My son is on the unflavoured and I add his to his morning orange juice. Its a life savor! I tried it in everything and this was the only thing to mask the taste (its a bit salty!) My doctor okied this when I told him it was the only way I could get it into him xx

@Alicia thank you! I did read that you can put it in juice etc….I’ll try a sneaky unflavoured one tomorrow in juice….might have to see if they pharmacy will swap the box of chocolate for another plain one 😆 and just leave it for the night 🙈 x

If you dissolve in water first and then you can dilute down with anything. My son has it mixed with milk as long as it's fully dissolved in the water first it's fine. He's had it for 2 years and is really good about adjusting how many sachets he needs. We watched the Eric videos about poo traffic jams and printed out a Bristol stool chart so he knows wants a number 4 soft poo sausage and then we also do a sweetcorn hunt/test, if we are worried there's a new traffic jam, which he enjoys being in control of and understanding that it's what his body needs. Good luck x

That’s so helpful!…thank you so much. I have the Eric sheet about it all, but Poppy would probably love to watch videos on it too 😂 That’s awesome that he’s so good with it all now, bless him. Thanks so much for the info!….really appreciate it….I’ll go mix this chocolate stuff with her milk now x
