      I used to have it for maybe 5 months , drink A LOT of water and eat healthy remember to eat veggies to. I also started taking vitamins idk if that helped but then my constipation was gone. Hope this helps oh and also fibre one bars helped immensely because they are high in fibre

    Alright call me immature or something but I'm a ten year old who had constipation as long as I could remember. It was all because I was being stubborn and not eating my veggies or drinking water. I solved it by drinking at least two bottles of water a day/ four glasses and eating a ton of oatmeal and veggies. Tbh if your child is going through the same thing as I was, just help them get through it and make them eat a ton of fiber no matter what.

    Constipation is horrible. It's extremely painful. I remember taking laxatives and just throwing up because of how much i was pushing and pooping at the same time. I feel embarrassed about it but it's reassuring knowing that it's common. Please just go when you need to go, that usually helps a hell of alot

    This is very sad, this video basically says that if your toddler has constipation, the solution is cash some money at a medical facility and tell you at the end that your toddler needs medication for life. And honest solution is to drink more water and eat more fiber fruits. Oatmeal or orange juice with a little hot water will incentive the colon to move..

      This video is not for kids who have the occasional back up. This video says severe constipation and if you’ve never had a child suffer from this you just won’t understand .

    I’m getting cramps literally all the time, and my scope is on December 20th. I feel weaker and fuller everyday, and it’s caused me to get a bigger stomach, which made me insecure and suck in my stomach all the time. I don’t even know if I’m going to make it to December 20th, this has given me depression and I’ve had to skip school so much. This leads my thoughts to “What if it has something to do with my kideneys and It’s too late?” Or that my liver is dying or something. I just want to be normal!! This has been going on for 2 years now..everything the doctors give me don’t rlly help..

    As a child my constipation was much more severe than now. Developed hemorrhoids at 9 and between 9 and 10 it went so crazy I've bern been given every kind of laxative, to the extent my intestines are refractory to almost everything now.
    What really helped me was having periods, as a first thing.
    Other remedies are aloe vera juice, kiwifruit, laxative herbal tea (although I need double dosage to bear some consequence) and psyllium powder.

    My doctor told my parents I would be on laxatives for life when i was only 3 years old. Gave me laxatives daily but it did no good for me and I never got better.10 yrs later I decided I didn't want to do that and one year after that, I have been off of laxatives for nearly 6 months. So sorry, but I don't believe this video, it comes down to the child just holding in the urge to go or a poor diet.

    Just drink laxative tea after you do drink it wait 30 minutes to one hour or wait overnight and when you feel something rumbling in your stomach quickly go to the toilet and do your business if that does not work then drink a ton of warm water roughly 3 liters and eat foods that have fiber like bread,fruits,and yogurt daily and if you have yogurt drink 2 bottles daily.

    The sea salt rinse and laying on my left side always helped me. I have dealt with constipation since I was young. My daughter is currently dealing with constipation and encopresis at age 7. We are trying to stop her from holding it (her words), but its an uphill battle. We are currently doing laxatives, but I don't think they're strong enough. Might call thw nurse line. Im tempted to try the rinse with her, but I want to try other options first
