My grandson has had severe constipation since he was a baby and has been on picosuphate and movicol for about 3 years . He has no diagnosis . He has been impacted in the past and even on high dosage of the drugs his lower bowel is not clearing . He has never had any food intolerance test or ultrasound , but the hospital are doing an MRI scan for a tethered spinal cord although they do not expect to find anything. There has been talk of hyersprengers ? Sorry don’t know how to spell it .now there is a plan to have to manually evacuate him every day and even perhaps a colostomy bag . Anyone else been through this ? I am thinking of helping them go private as all this seems very drastic without a diagnosis. It is affecting his development and now his baby brother seems to have the same problems . Any comments would be appreciated.
