Hi my dd (7)has been on 1 sachet of movicol since xmas but the last two weeks has been very constipated. I increased her up to 4 sachets a day, been on 4 since thursday. She has had 2 "normal" loosish stools in that time, the second of which was this morning. She has had some soiling/overflow the past week but today she seems to have no control at all & there are huge amounts of soiling, she is wearing pull ups as had got through 3 pairs of trousers in 2 hours thsi morning. Shall I start reducing it now & by how much? She is getting quite distressed by the lack of control she has. I saw the gp last week who suggested keeping on 4 sachets until monday and then halfing to 2. Does this sound ok?
