My son Connor is 12yrs now and has always had problems with constipation. Some times it was so bad that he would scream and his face would be purple with the straining.He would also have bleeding from the back passage and a tag would grow.He has had 4 anal stretches done over the years and has tried lots of medicines as well. For years he had lactulose and senna which he took every day. Now he is on movicol 1/2. He takes 2  sachets a day and if he hasn't had a bowel movement after 3 days he takes a Bisacodyl tablet and it sure works right away. The hardest thing that Connor found was trying to keep his water intake up.
