We have long been on Movicol (about 18m) for DS who has a seemingly 'immature' bowel - we go from huge explosions when he is drinking it, to rapid and severe constipation when he's not. we can't regulate it. now we're at the stage when he's all bunged up again & paediatrician says to give 4 sachets a day to 'clear him out'...how??? he barely drinks all day, and point blank refuses - the only time he will drink is when half asleep in middle of the night and asks for milk, which we have now got into giving him as then we know he's drinking the movicol..but this in itself is wrong bcos he's a 2.5yo waking up 2-3 times a night for milk???!! (and then barely eating in the day..) it's driving me mad. Any ideas to move this situation forward??!!
