Guest guest Posted March 13, 2002 Report Share Posted March 13, 2002 Poor little guy! I hope he feels better soon and the doctor can help him right away. was constipated this week..I think it's from the SuperNuThera..too much iron..so I am just going to give him a 1/4 teaspoon each day instead of 1 1/2 teaspoons like I had been.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2002 Report Share Posted March 13, 2002 Have you tried dried fruit or raisens? My daughter has a love of chewing issue, so once in a while she will chew on the dried apricots - just for the excercise and raisens if one of the few things that she never stopped eating. I hope he feels better. My five year old NT used to do it to himself for 4 days at a time, while wee were potty training. > Kep is in so much pain that I can't stand it.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2002 Report Share Posted March 13, 2002 Amy, I know how you feel. I had to put more bran and prune juice in the diet for and . But it sure works. has a bowl of Bran flakes every morning and he hates the prune juice but I make him drink 1 oz every day. I don't know if you can get Kep to eat or drink things like that but it might help. Lori My poor Bubby Kep is in so much pain that I can't stand it. This is the second time this week that he has been so constipated that he screams when he tries to poop. This is the second time that he has needed manual help (yes, that means I use my fingers to pull it out). This, of course, is not a nice procedure and so he screams more. His poop is so big and so hard that I can only imagine the amount of pain he is in. My poor, poor Bubby. It always makes me cry when one of my kids cries this much. I called Cam at work to make sure I was doing everything right. I'm going to call the doc in the morning and see what we can do to prevent it from getting this bad again. Oh, I just hate seeing him in so much pain! Amy H--in Michigan Kepler 4 1/2 ASD and Bethany 6 NT " Harmony breeds ignorance. It is the dissonant chords of life that lead us to wisdom.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2002 Report Share Posted March 13, 2002 Amy - You may want to talk to the doctor about trying mineral oil... If his bm's are that big, they may be stretching his colon, which will eventually make things worse. Good Luck... Penny :-( My poor Bubby Kep is in so much pain that I can't stand it. This is the second time this week that he has been so constipated that he screams when he tries to poop. This is the second time that he has needed manual help (yes, that means I use my fingers to pull it out). This, of course, is not a nice procedure and so he screams more. His poop is so big and so hard that I can only imagine the amount of pain he is in. My poor, poor Bubby. It always makes me cry when one of my kids cries this much.

Miralax is great. We use it for Dillon. he has a lot of GI problems from HSP. I don't know what we'd do without it. I thinks it's mostly used for people having surgery. Call the doc and beg for a prescription. Poor Kep. Sissi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the second time this > week that he has been so constipated that he screams when he tries to poop.>> Amy, One of the moms at our support group Tuesday night was talking about this same thing...she took her son to a pediatric gastroenterologist, and the doctor gave him Miralax....she said it works great; he can't hold it in, so doesn't get constipated. Tough part was you have to get him cleared out before you can start it, so that wasn't fun...but she is so relieved. Your doctor may have already considered this, but I'm just tossing out the idea...

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2002 Report Share Posted March 14, 2002 Oh, Amy, poor sweet Kepler! That sounds so awful! I have never had that problem before; Putter would continue to eat his customary healthy diet no matter what I served him (well, I don't serve him because he doesn't eat normal food) and I have been lucky, I guess, because I do not always do healthy meals either! Way too much pizza... I hope something works for him. Does cheese really cause it? I know he loves cheese so that is sad for him. Why is it always the stuff we love?

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2002 Report Share Posted March 14, 2002 Amy, was going only once every 5 days from increasing his paxil and it didn't change even taking 4 senecote a day! He is almost off the paxil and is taking zoloft now. I think a supository would be much easier on him than having to unimpact him. I hope it's back to normal soon.
