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.
Def give it a whirl!
thanks, will give it a go , she has just has a RAST panel test to see about allergies .. as shes supersensitve to most major "allergic" foods .. i hope its not a dairly allergy ... raaah this is so hard ....
AND another POO ... BUT it was the size of a pea !!!! seriously all that grunting for a pea sized poo !!!
i hope they find out whats causing it hun...not nice for bubba or mummy.

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
did u get a chance to get any of the things from the chemist i suggested?
Hey Holly - i give her infants friends but havent tried the brauers one .. infants friend is great for everything !! lol ..
thanks Det all that info is great .. my mum gave me plain parrafin as a child .. :sick: it was grose ... wouldnt want to sneeze tho :lol:
she just done a poo off to check it now !
Lea...another thing you can try and is known to work...is cammomile tea...
been there with Jack hun...and him screaming trying to get a poo out...me helping get poos out...and i am positive they were as hard as concrete....
that is one reason Jack is now on Goats formula..it is alot easier/ soothing on their bellies
Woo hoo a soft one !!!! Finally !!

hope this eases soon hun xxx
Good news! Hopefully this is the start of something good :)
Excellent news hun!!! Keep going with everything for a few weeks to allow her time to heal and it should be back to normal!!
