My 13 month old DS became constipated for no obvious reason in January and stayed that way until mid April. He was on various medications in that time but a softener called Laxido seemed to finally help him over come it. We also tried increasing his fibre intake and plying him with prunes etc. but they had no effect.
He's been off the Laxido now for about a month and he's gone back to being constipated in the last few days. So he's now back on Laxido. We haven't added or changed anything in his diet. He drinks plenty of fluids. He's also allergic to cow's milk, so he's completely dairy free (since he was 5 months) and on soya milk daily instead.
He has a referral to a constipation clinic in June (been waiting since March) but i cant bear to see him screaming, shaking and crying in pain every day when he tries to poo/ manages to go and tears his bum. It's so distressing.
Is there anything else we can try? Any advice would be so very welcome. TIA.
