Hi, My daughter is 15 months old about 2 months ago I noticed that her stomach is swallen during the day but even more swallen in the evening. She had tummy Xray which shown bowel full of poo. It was shocking for me as I would never tought she had constipetion as she was pooing every day or every other. She was on lactulose solution for 2 months than we move to movicol which loose the poo a lot but her stomach all this time is still swallen didn t gone down at all. I m so worry doctors are not very helpfull they don t want to do Xray to see if the poo clear out I m not sure what to do I really want to help my daugher how can she clear out when her stomach will go down she lost her appetite she is just 9.36kg I m so worry please could you help me?
I will suggest getting a thyroid function test for the baby. You need to increase the fiber content of the baby food. Gradually reduce the amount of milk and add cereals to the meals, serve 7 such meals in a day like oatmeal, Oatmeal etc. This will help her to regularize her bowel habits. Also ensure good amount of water intake in a day.
