Diet to help impacted bowel

[reddaisy]

DD is three and I think she has an impacted bowel. She has leaking stools and poos every few days and usually it is very large.

I am trying to focus on her diet for now to see if that can help so does anyone have any experience/suggestions of what she should eat more of/things I should exclude/limit?

She eats pretty healthily anyway but I am focusing on increasing water intake and fruit and veg. I have bought some prune juice to see if that helps as she won't eat prunes on their own but I hope she will drink the juice.

Any advice would be great.

My DS has the opposite problem, Toddler diarrhoea. But the reason im posting is that i would imagine your LO should be eating all the things that im trying to cut out/reduce from my LO's diet.

I have to avoid fibre and give him a higher fat diet. So you could increase your LO's fibre intake This is a NHS website that promotes lots of fibre in their diet.

The foods that i have to avoid are:
Mini weetabix for breaky, lots of fibre!

Grapes and raisins
Wholemeal bread and wholemeal pasta
Peas and pulses.
