It was as though I had to be the one to tell him that CP can cause constipation!

Just getting to grips with Blogger at the moment.<br/><br/>Thanks for your post.<br/><br/>The constipation certainly seems to be under control now. If she doesn't go for a day or so, we simply give her a sachet of Movicol in about 60mL of juice. 24 hours later ... it's a poo surprise! Hi Lorna.

Apologies for the delay … but I only recently saw your comment. Just getting to grips with Blogger at the moment.

Thanks for your post.

I was a bit frustrated by the consultant - I'm sure he knows all about bowels but I'm not sure he was taking the cerbral palsy into account. I've been managing Emily's constipation since she was young and she's now 14 so I'd like to think I know a bit about how she works. It is good to know that the things we go through are experienced by others and that we are not alone. I guess it's keep going with the Movicol and the lactulose for now! Hi Steve
