I know it's been done a million times, but here's my cry for help...
DD is 2 1/2 and has had trouble pooing for the past year. She's withholding, majorly, sometimes for a day, sometimes up to 5 days. She goes rigid trying to hold it in and screams with pain when we make her bend her knees to let it out.
Diet is full of fruit & veg (although she's not a big eater), she has prune juice, switched to soy milk.
I have a prescription for movicol but I don't know how to get her to drink that much. It's a daily battle to get any liquid into her, we've tried everything.
It's all become v fraught and she's totally hung up about it now. Any thoughts? Massage? Movicol with less fluid? Miracle cures?
