He is crying atm. No point going in to him as he tells us to go. DH did go in before and his bottom was popping. He empties his bowels once a day. Havenm't muh idea what he has been eating since yesterday morning as he has been at the in laws but generally I would like him to eat more fruit and veg though he does have some every day.

Aw bless. Does he drink enough?

What, pop like a pea pod or bursting bubble wrap or farting?

Popping does sound horribly violent! Poor lamb.

Hmm - when he goes, is it very hard? He may benefit from stool softeners which make the poor (as the name suggests softer, easier to pass and less likely to build up pressure and cause flatulence). Might be worth increasing his fluids and if you can introducing some wholefoods to his diet - how old is he?

Just a quickie as he i scrying

he is 3

he could drink more i think

doesn't sound like farting, is really a pop

his stools don't seem hard but they do seem quite big and multi coloured.

have to go, still crying

thanks
