to go to A&e with my dd3 *pictures*

[littlemaemae]

My DD who is 3 has been having stomach/bowel problems for the last year. Diagnose as constipation. She can not pass a stool for weeks despite fantastic diet and laxatives and weeks is in severe pain most days. She is very petite and skinny but her stomach has swollen to look 9 months pregnant. Getting no where with doctors/hospital etc.
Aibu to think this is not how a heathy child's stomach should look.

You're bound to be worried, but remember, she is now getting serious attention for her problems. Your persistence is paying off. You are no longer getting the run around and hopefully she will now be seen by specialists who will listen to her history and do appropriate investigations and treatment. So it may not feel like it with DD's tummy so swollen etc, but you have achieved a heck of a lot since you began this thread. Well Done!!

Hand holding for you and DD.

Hopefully things will soon get much much better x

Hoping for a good outcome.

for you and DD.

Hope things go well and she is feeling more comfortable soon. I really feel so sorry for her and you too.

Stay strong. You're strength and tenacity have got her to the best place in terms of care.

Thoughts and prayers for your dd. She sounds like a trooper.

Keep going, fighting and remember we're all here for you xxx

Hope she gets seem quickly and they can make her more comfortable xx

My goodness that photo, I'm a nurse & so glad to hear she is being brought into hospital. Hope everything goes ok.

My love, people will see her and start to do things

They can X Ray, they can scan. Thinking of you all. Lots of love to little one.

Hang on in there Love, you're going to be in the best place to make sure she gets seen by the right people.

Glad she is going in, you are amazing. I hope she now gets the treatment she needs and gets some relief.

You will, hopefully, finally be given answers now. Good luck on the ward

If you get worried or feel you can't advocate for her, remember you have all of us behind you.

The 2nd photos looked significantly worse to me. DP saw them and send twisted or blocked gut. Looking forward to update. Fingers crossed.

Glad you're going in and that the medical professionals are now, finally, taking this seriously

So relieved your dd is in the right place. Thinking of you all. Nothing more stressful or distressing than an unwell child. Hoping they can make her comfortable quickly and start to investigate what is causing such awful constipation.

Just another one saying what an amazing job you are doing as your daughter's champion.

I hope the hospital look after you both well.

De lurking to say I really hope your little one gets relief soon. You've done a great job inspite of some particularly unhelpful medical professionals. Good luck.

Also delurking to say similar to pp. hope your little girl starts to feel better very quickly. take care of you as well. X

definitely get an xray hope she now gets ongoing help.
probiotics can help in long term along with movicol/lactulose etc.

I hope everything goes well Mae. She's in the best place now

I can't see a photo either - mobile site or desktop site.

Hope this hospital trip is the start of some answers, and more importantly, some relief for DD

Good news that they're taking you seriously and your DD is finally getting the right care. Well done, I hope this is all sorted out soon.

First time I've managed to peel today.
Not liking the abdomen becoming distended after the Senna so am glad she's going to get checked over. Sending you love.

Peel?

PEEP!
