My DS has suffered with constipation since he was 1.
The doctors have given cosmocol to mix into his drinks but it doesn't really work.
My son struggles to pass his poop and when he does it's not in pieces (tmi sorry) it looks like a big rock but is the texture of clay (tmi again sorry).
At home I try and keep up his water intake, given him probiotic drinks, and mix sugar into any milk he may drink but usually once every few weeks we are back to square one.
He really struggles and it has made potty training take forever. He is potty trained now and does poop on the toilet but when he is heavily constipated or dealing with impacted stool then he will cry with the discomfort.
GP just says he will grow out of it and to use cosmocol more regularly but he doesn't always need it and I can't figure out what causes this random constipation, usually red meat or ghee but not 100% sure/
He has been trying to pass for the past two days and I don't know what I can do to help him. Please help..
