Please someone help...

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone - this is my first time posting and I am so lost. I

have a 16 month old little girl. She too started her issues when she

was 12 months. I would laso like to add that she had really bad

reflux at birth up to 7 months, not sure if there are any connections

there. I am a first time mom but I 100% trust my mothering instinct

on what is just not right. We tried stool softeners, supositories(?),

water, fruits, veggies you name it, until I had to freak out and tell

my ped. that NOTHING was working. She then told us to go the mirilax,

by this time my daughter was 13 months and I know what the label says

but I took her advise as legit medical advise. Well - she never told

us how much to give...play with the dose. I could and still can't

find a dose that works. She is either too runny or it is very large

and firm. At her 15 month visit our ped. said to give her a FULL cap

a day. I don't know if I was so stunned or what but didn't actually

react to it until I got home (and that is out of the norm for me) so

I call and tell my concerns, fears etc. demand to be refered to a GI

and she says they will tell me the exact same thing. This is so scary

to me because I don't know what to do. If I stop the Mirilax she

can't poop and then back to horrile pain. We also have issues with

moodiness, awful sleeping routine, shaky when can't go potty, sweaty

and I have always thought it was just the constipation but after

finding this group it all makes sense - so after the ped. told me

that the GI would be a waste I started my search, but am still not

understanding what I can do to help my daughter. Do I go to the GI,

Will they really tell me the same thing? I want to solve this, not

relive or just cover it up. I will take any advise, suggestions etc.

I would just appreciate the help. Sorry this is so long!
