I really hope someone can help us.
My son is 3 since feb. Over the winter we have moved house had a new baby and had a lot of stress at home. During this period my son woke up one day and said I want to wear pants so we followed his lead. He did really great with wee’s. He did one monster poo (like a tennis ball) that I can recall around this time and since the last four months I don’t recall a normal poo.
He is chronically constipated. 4 x GP visits. I’ve been trying a lot of things. 4 x Movicol, adding lactuose/senna and now something else as and when.
He does overflow liquid poos in his pants or nappy. (We’ve been going back and forth and following his lead on him wanting pants but he’s back in nappies this week) in the last ten days things have escalated and now he only poos in his sleep which I feel is the most depressing thing ever. The only time my child is relaxed enough to poo is asleep :-(
We have tried the apps, reward chart etc. Etc. We are now following the advise of Eric and disempacting him with 8 x doses a day. Except he’s still not going. I’ve done this for 2 days and tonight I have 10ML senna and nothing.
Does anyone have any experience like this. Is there light at the end of the tunnel? I feel this is having a huge impact on every family member now. Any advise or experience is great. Thanks
