Toddler constipation
Show your support
@Aoife hey! My little girl is also struggling terribly with constipation. We’re struggling so much to get enough laxative into her every day. At night she screams for hours in pain and so many times I’ve considered taking her to a&e but every time we never end up going as I felt we’d be wasting their time but maybe I’m wrong?! 😫 do you mind me asking what symptoms your son has when you take him to the hospital? I feel awful we’ve been putting it off now! Thanks so much x
@Daisy hey! So sorry to hear your daughter is struggling so much too, it is so hard seeing them like that😩 your welcome to message me anytime! I felt the exact same way as you but I just couldn’t cope watching him scream in pain begging me to help him😢 I think we have took him to A&E twice because of the constipation and tummy pain. Never feel like you are wasting your time, you always know best! Xx
I have the exact same with my 2.5 year old daughter. I feel like the only time she poos is with laxatives. She goes 4 days without pooping each time and just gets bellyaches all the time. Such a worry! Don’t know what to do to help her. Try giving her prunes, more water etc. I wonder if children this kind of age suffer with it due to potty training also? I’m going to get her checked out again and see if she can get referred. I get super anxious as I Crohn’s and so worry she’ll have it 😢
Hi! My son is 3 and has been struggling really badly with constipation for months but we seem to be on the mend from it now🤞🏼 we are under the paediatricians in the royal and he’s had more appointments/A&E trips than I can count because of it. I would definitely say to contact your gp, how much laxido is she taking? Feel free to message me and I can try help x
