So is, she buying all these outfits for her appearances on TM? I'm not sure if they have to bring their own clothes or there is a rail for them to choose from? Have no idea how it works? 🤔

How frustrating and time wasting for you too! @InTheDollsHouse is definitely your girl for CMPA.
All I can say is keep pushing, perhaps even check out the relevant NICE guidelines to ensure they’re following them because as I say, we’re now in a situation of withholding which has made it ten times worse. That ERIC site has a helpline that may be able to help.
My LO is like a different person pre and post poo, at least one day every week is physical and emotional distress & pain for them. I wish I’d have known to push harder sooner for a clear treatment path.
Thank you so much. I’ve read ERIC and everything says they should be helping ☹
Completely agree - we have at least two sleepless nights before he goes and then it all starts again. He literally sounds like a woman giving birth when he does eventually go. It so heartbreaking xxx

oh lorrrrrrd spare me 🙄
Imagine instructing her on Lacan and poststructuralism 😳 How about a little Hegel and the dialectic? 🤔 Ooh, Heidegger!!
I wonder if she’s read any Germaine Greer or Betty Friedan? bell hooks? Whom does she align herself feminism-wise, do we think? Laurie Penny? (🤭)

Sorry to be that poster who is always asking stuff but I’ve updated the wiki based on my limited recent knowledge. Can someone please check I’ve got the notable people section right? And if there’s anything people think should definitely be added (the night Alf was left in poo I’ve just seen on the Joe Wicks thread) could you be kind enough to let me know and I’ll update some more?

I wish she was on tomorrow. Kate Silverton is on talking about banning smart phones for kids and too much screen time. Love to see Ash talk about that!


I know it wasn’t aimed at me but thought I’d respond too as we don’t have any underlying issues as far as I know. We did suspect CMPA for a time as they’ve always had problems on and off but there was no evidence of it eventually or change from elimination diets.
We were initially prescribed Lactulose (you can buy over the counter) but it didn’t work so I went back and they gave us movicol but I couldn’t get it into them in enough quantity no matter how I disguised it, that or it just wasn’t working. Either way I went back and they said we needed a hospital referral. First I was told ‘there’re no appointments, we can’t book over 3mths in advance so you’ll just have to wait.’ We were resorting to glycerine suppositories and kept trying with the other stuff when it got really bad. We finally got the appointment and we’re prescribed docusate and a blood test which came back clear then discharged before we even had a chance to see if it worked. It didn’t. I think it’s partially psychological now too because it’s so distressing trying to pass it.
I was back in to the GP this week and miraculously got a locum who was really clued up.
I said I wasn’t prepared to keep giving these things that were just causing painful cramps but no poop and I didn’t even know what quantity, combination or schedule with all the different things anymore. She said movicol was the best. Docusate I could get rid of as it’s likely to cause the cramps. Lactulose I can keep doing 10ml as it’s pretty mild. She’s prescribed adult movicol (it’s stronger so LO will need to drink less) and a disimpactaton and maintenance plan. Also the numbing stuff. Just waiting for it to come in. We have to increase the dose daily until we have brown water twice then find the maintenance dose that results in daily poop that soft but not liquid for 2 months. She explained the muscle has stretched now so doesn’t send the normal signals to go, it has to regain its tone before it’ll work properly again.
I wish they’d have suggested that before we waited on the hospital for so long and the pain and distress has blown it up into a withholding problem.
They suggested this is a great resource https://eric.org.uk/advice-for-children-with-constipation/
I’m not suggesting you do what we’ve been recommended at all, every case is different or has underlying issues of course and I don’t even know if it’ll work yet. But it’s been a long process to get to something that could have arguably been suggested way back so it might help to know.
eta: I shall prob ask for this to be deleted in a few days x
Thank you so much. So I saw a few doctors between 4-7 months ago that completely dismissed it as a stage of weaning - he was way past the first stages of weaning. Saw a couple more all who dismissed it. But we are absolutely CMPA here and so I waited to see the dietician incase they had any insight. They said it’s not their area and to take them back to the GP. First GP said ‘it can happen’. I’m at a loss currently but know there’s something wrong x

As a somewhat budding ‘journo’ for TM she absolutely should know international news. There’s every chance she could discuss it next week. Her news posts are going viral and she should hold accountability, a level of respect and responsibility for news stories all over. She’s a moron.

I have family in Sydney and the panic of making sure I knew they were safe… My heart goes out to Aus 🇦🇺
It’s devastating and heartbreaking. I hope to god she doesn’t make this about patriarchy and misogyny, however. If she uses this for content then I won’t be able to sit on my hands. An acknowledgment and removing the story is enough.

Ada looks very hot bless her in her latest story 😨
Dressed totally inappropriately, wouldn’t you put comfy clothes on in layers that can be easily taken on and off if the child has a temperature and feeling unwell?! Ash has her in a frilly skirt and jumper! 🙄

My child is the same, it’s utterly horrible. We’re awaiting a numbing suppository and the meds to start a week+ disimpaction treatment plan to come in. We’ve also still never experienced prolapse.
Numbing cream helped loads here, along with laxido in massive quantities. Really hope you’re on the way to it getting better ❤

(And I bet we haven’t even posted on our insta about it!)
