My ds is 18 months old.
He has had problems with constipation on and off since he was about 7 months old.
I had him at the doctors when it first started and he was perscribed Lactulose to help soften his poo's.
He has about a week where he strains constatly, has tiny poo's and he's screaming with it, then it goes away for a while then starts again.
I had him back to the doctors last week and the doctor said he couldnt give him anything other than lactulose and that the problem would sort itself out.
He has a varied diet, plenty fruit and veg, youghurts, drinks plenty fluids, ive even had him on prune juice and prunes but nothing seems to help him.
Has anyone had any experience of this or knows of anything that will work to help him, i cant bear seeing him screaming when he's trying to go to the toilet and i feel so helpless.
