Stomach Issues /Gastrointestinal
My 3 year son has severe constipation issues since birth. We have been seeing a specialist but nothing has helped with six surgeries and is zero success. We have used prescribed powder's prescription we have used liquid form of oil and laxatives, and we even use enemas... sometimes the enema works sometimes it doesn't it's very frustrating because sometimes he can't use the restroom for 3 to 5 days. Anyone have any suggestions maybe anybody I can talk to you or any natural remedies because it's very frustrating and it hurts to see your child suffering I'm open to opinions thanks
@liz.jahdiel . My 6 year old is the same way. A Dr told us to cut or limit the sugar intake and it has helped him
@dreamermom, we do milk of magnesium and also have a probiotic to help. But I will try what you suggested. Thnx
Have you tried giving him Kiefer daily or a magnesium supplement? The Kiefer helps create good bacteria in your digestive system and magnesium helps in many ways, to soften and move things a long... My husband suffered most of his young life with constipation issues, sometimes going over 10 days before having to get enemas at the doctors... as an adult, he started drinking grape Kiefer daily and a magnesium drink at night... I also started taking small amounts of both while pregnant, and so far I've avoided any constipation... when my daughters stools start to get firm, we give her a tiny bit of both for a couple days and it seems to do the trick! Hope that helps!
@liz.jahdiel there.is also something called eat for your blood type. Goggle it...hope this helps a little
@liz.jahdiel .hard stomach.pain...ever heard of maybe an umbilical hernia..or hernia.my nephew had something similar bathroom issues.lots of tests and was that...maybe get a new pediatrician
Hi unfortunately he doesn't like any prune juice... we have changed his drinking habits he used to be stuck onto flavored juices now thankfully we have been able to switch him to apples juice so yes that would be great if you can get some info because he has had six surgeries and nothing is helping @dsegu895,
Hi ! Well thankfully he hasn't work on any rash and that we know he's not allergic to anything I don't know about any food allergies he's been seeing the same pediatric since birth so it's very frustrating all I know is when he can't go to the restroom his stomach gets a really really huge and it is hard like a rock. So the only way to get him to go use two enemas. And just wait and pray that it works sometimes he can go days or a week but we are always trying to do something in that process
@liz.jahdiel I'm sorry you're son is going through all of that so young. The only thing I can think of as a natural remedy is prune juice after every meal. Always drinking water. I have a niece that has also gone through this. I'll ask her mom & get back with you on what has helped them.
@liz.jahdiel. i have been a mom over 21 yrs....have you taken him to See if he's allergic to anything 1st? When my oldest was little he would break out in a strange rash elbows and knees only he was allergic to bahia grass and cheese..the grass was only near bch and we were about 40 min from bch.. We changed all natural soap.detergent toothpaste almost no cheese hard to do and went away.My 2nd son when nervous gets stomach pain...did all testing...nothing...poor little guy..surgeries and no solution still:/you must be frustrated..just an idea acid reflex?large tonsils? Sometimes kids get growing pains
@liz.jahdiel, I asked about my niece & what helped her. She said almost nothing helped her. They were just consistent on yogurts with fiber, & drinking a lot of water. They changed pediatricians several times to avoid surgery, & ended up finding a specialist who finally gave her medicine. She outgrew it with the medicine & now she's going to the restroom good. I was hoping I could help you out a bit better than that. I'm sorry.
