Wish my little girl luck!!!! *UPDATE!!!*

A little background...
My daughter, who is now 15 months old, has had constipation issues since she was born!!!
She doesnt go to the bathroom much at all... Maybe 2 times a week.. .She was put on laxatives.. I have changed her diet so many times (we were on every formula you could imagine) and we have given her prunes/prune juice.. NOTHING works for her... It is the MOST painful thing in the world to watch her push and push and then hear her screaming in pain, I cry EVERYTIME.. Im tearing up thinking about it right now... I never thought I would be so excited to see poopy in my life... But I get so happy when she goes...
Anyways.. She goes to the gastro specialist AGAIN tomorrow morning and this time I am DEMANDING something be done about this... This has been going on for 15 months now, there is no reason they cant do something for her.. Im sick of it being brushed off.. Im sick of watching my baby be in so much pain and BLEED every time she goes or just TRIES to go...
So anyways...
Im asking you all to wish us luck and pray that they can figure something out for her!
Thanks girls!!!!

UPDATE:
So we went this morning at 11.. Once again!
Doctor was nice.. She had a finger in her little butt and turns out she is really full of crap, literally.... Already knew that!!! So she had to get blood work, got that and waiting for the results.. Has to go at 430 for the xray and in the meantime I have to go up to the store now and get her an enema and pick up her prescriptions... She has to take a new medication to help her out.. We go back in 2 months.. So hopefully all this will work...

oh, poor baby!
My heart goes out to her -don't stop pushing until they find a way to help her!

good luck!
I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers. Hopefully there is something they can do for her.

Thanks girls!
I am def not giving up and I am going to keep pushing this issue until it is resolved.. Im sick of being told there is nothing they can do about it... I call BS!!!

poor baby. my thoughts are with you guys. dont let them brush you off... there has to be a way to help her

I will be thinking of her tom. .good luck..please give us updates

POOR little girl!!! I hope you get some answers at the doc this time

good luck to your little girl!

FYI: I had a similar problem and had to get a colonoscopy earlier this year. I knew something wasn't right and my belly looked big but it wasn't soft and fatty it was hard. My doctor almost waved it off and I insisted he take an xray. I was literally 'full of ****'. I went to the doc originally not only bc of the stomach being bloated and hard but also i would try so hard to poop and the few times i was successful I would bleed. He put me on Zelnorm and told me not to eat rice or bananas.

hope i didn't gross you girls out...just hoping maybe it'll help.

good luck

aww thats terrible!! i hope they can find a solution

I know my cousin (who is in her 40s) has the same problem, she goes very infrequently.

good luck!! my daughter *now 7* had this problem as a baby.. i had to take her to the ER one night because of an anal fissure.. oh the tears WE cried.. she eventually grew out of it.. it's very painful to see u'r baby in that kind of pain.. i hope they figure it out tomorrow.. hugs to u and u'r baby!

Awww poor baby!!!! I hope the doctor can find something to help her!

good luck to you and your little one. I cannot imagine how it must feel to watch your baby feel so badly!

aw i am so sorry - my niece had something similar. . . she is five now and has grown out of it. . .she is always constipated too but definitely goes more regularly than she did when she was younger

i hope you find something to help her!! please be careful with the laxatives my cousin developed severe food allergies bc of overuse of laxatives as a baby

I hope your little girl will be ok!!!!! prayers

Thank you sooo much for the info actually!
I will request an xray.. I have my mother going with me and she was in the medical field so she will know more about the terminology then me!
Thanks again!!!
Glad you are doing better!
