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...

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 dont give her the laxatives much.. Only if nothing else will work... But they dont work on her anyway.. I refuse to give them to her too much... I dont want her to rely on them... Thanks for the caution though!

Good luck....sounds like what they gave you today will work. My friends daughter, although older, had the same issue and it turned out her intestines were totally backed up.
Keep us updated.

Re: Wish my little girl luck!!!! *UPDATE!!!*
oh no I feel so bad for her!! My younger brother (who is now 17) has such horrific problems going to the bathroom as a baby/infant. Eventually he grew out of it, but he was on meds, my mom had to give him enema's constantly, his stomach would be soooo bloated from not going for days at a time...
