Perhaps try talking to the GP again? Ask if you can give something like Lactulose syrup to such a young bubba to help soften up his poo? Or talk with the GP about maybe trying the medications like Zantac rather than the thickened formula?

Just dismiss my suggestions if they aren't any help to you, just putting it out there in case.

Is your DH around at all? We have never had any help, just DH and I and it is really frigging draining doing it day in and day out.
