My 6 year old son has been getting frequent stomach ache which we think is caused by constipation. It occurs regularly and often after eating. It’s been particularly bad over the past month and I’m being called by the school roughly every other day to bring him calpol. He’s on 2x movicol per day and a daily 7.5ml dose of sodium picosulfate but still seems backed up despite doing poo daily. Yesterday he said he had a particularly painful poo at school and wanted to cry out in pain but was too embarrassed. But mostly the poos are soft and normal.
What more can we do? And what could be causing this? His diet is very good with plenty of fresh fruit and veg and little to no processed white carbs.
