Eating less aggravates constipation. Eat regular food, with salads (About 250 gms with every meal). When stool gets hard take an enema other wise you will get piles. For regular good health you need tor educe weight. Do exercise and eat less starch, sugar and fat. Eat more of salads and fruits

My 4 year old daughter has suffered with severe chronic constipation since birth. When she was born she was admitted in the neonatal for 9 days due to abdominal distention, feed intolerance, suspected sepsis, vomiting bright green bile and Meconium Ileus. She did not pass her meconium for 33 hours and it was passed due to a paediatrician giving her a suppository. It's now getting worse as she is getting older. She suffers with abdominal distention, leakages, agonising pain, passing a lot of gas and cannot walk sometimes due to the pain. She has been on 5 different laxatives (lactulose, movicol, docusate, sodium picosulfate and sennakot) now of them have worked and she has also had 2 enemas that did not work also. She has had a biopsy done for Hirschsprung's disease and it came back normal and all her bloods are normal as well. She is missing a lot of school due to this and her doctors don't seem to think it's serious but after all the medication she's had I think differently. She used to pass a stool and get some relief for a few weeks now it's just days till the pain starts all over again like she isn't getting any relief at all anymore. It can be 3 weeks before she passes a stool. I've done some research and seen that meconium ileus can be related to cystic fibrosis and I've seen that you can have it in the digestive system also. Could this be a possibility for her?

It is really strange for me to understand how she is tolerating absolute constipation for 3 weeks. It is advisable to get her thoroughly checked in good teaching institutions like AIIMS/PGI Chandigarh etc.

Dear lybrate user
first of all, thank you for the wonderful question.
Would not recommend aloe vera juice for a 3 year old kid, though the laxative properties of aloe vera are scientifically proven, its safety is still in question. The juice might cause abdominal pain or cramps.
The following points should be considered for the diet of your kid:
- see that your child consumes enough fluids in the whole day. - add fibre to his diet
- feed him whole fruits instead of juices
