Seriously. I tried everything. I tried medications, was sent to a pead and tried soy formula (as it was thought to have been a lactose intllerence), I've tried all the prune pear etc juices mixes that anyone ever suggested and the ONLY thing that worked was vaalia yoghurt.

they didnt say anything was wrong .. just prodded her tummy and gave me some laxatives ... which i will try but a bit bummed they said give her water and veges .. wich i already do anyway ... thats why im concerend ... i dont bulk her food with cereal and i dont giver her bread .. so why if shes on a plain diet does she get constipated ... i just dont get it !!
my poor lil girl .. yesterday they were really hard long and skinny and a really dark coulor ... think i will see my pead again .. not just a reg gp ..
aww
hun that is not an answer- just a quick fix- grrr definately see a pead next time or a GP that is referred from a friend who will look into it more- all the laxatives will do are to get rid of what is there- they wont fix the problem!
just be careful- now that her bowel has been stretched out of shape- it will easily fill again and become constipated. Something like parachoc is good- you give it to them until you get action, and then it keep it going so that nothing has a chance to stick and build- The idea is to get the overstretched bowel to settle down to its proper size again- otherwise she will be trying to pass things that will be too big for her to pass- and have to start all over again!!! Parachoc is just choc flavoured parafin- so natural- just cant lay them down for a set period of time after it is given- i think its around 2 hours, as they you dont want them to aspirate parafin into their lungs!
Once her bowel has settled then something like benfibre once a day, should keep things moving- she would only need like 1 teaspoon of it a day- its odourless and tasteless- so no biggie! The benefibre will ensure that her stools are bulky and pass without getting hard again!
HTH and from one mummy with a child that is constantly contipated to another- good luck and happy motions lol
