My baby girl is going through the same now I’m crying watching her with the pain

[JamiePav]

As a parent this is extremely useful! Thanks so much

My daughter has all symptoms but her pain is mostly in her back. She recently had a UTI so I’m worried her kidneys are effected, but the doctors don’t believe it’s an issue. However at home she is soo upset about her back pain, and still won’t poo. I’m trying to treat it at home so this helped a lot!

Had it as a kid really bad and it made me FEAR using the toilet. I also feared suppositories and enemas. At 40 years old, I still get weirded out when I’m not regular.

Thanks for the info. My 4 year old has been constipation for months now and before i let her go too long before her next BM I'll give her a pedialax suppository and it makes her go to the bathroom immediately.

It’s been one month i am using this movical as per my doctor prescribed, but he told to reduce by half after one month. As i reduced to half my kid is again complaining about pain. Even though i am giving lots of water, probiotics and stool softer nothing is working.Went to so many doctor’s everyone prescribes the same. He is 3 years old. Don’t know why he is having hard stool in the starting.Because of this he got fissures.literally crying a lot😢

Im up at 3am because my baby girl (just turned 3) potty training, she said she has to poop and her tummy hurts. I put a pull up on her and hopefully she can go..poor thing trying..she was peeing in potty, never pooped yet though and suddenly these last couple weeks she has been terrified or wants nothing to with the potty at all. Right now i just want her to go..might gave to put her back on miralax daily dor a bit from the Dr. I dont know what to do, i hate seeing her in pain, especially at 3 in the morning! 😢😢
