What a joke the medical profession has become (and I don't mean Dr. Rahim). Telling a kid to just take laxatives every day instead of trying to figure out what's wrong with her. I love how smart and honest she is about something that could be difficult and embarrassing to talk about for a kid (or an adult). Hoping she gets some relief.
What in the world is going on in this video??? He is a Chiropractor. Not Dr to diagnose a kid who possible could have cancer!! I hope not and seriously want a good outcome.
Most doctors want an easy solution that makes money for big pharmaceutical manufacturers.
Agree, especially clear since 2020 here in the US.
Honestly, that sounds like a malpractice issue. It continues on and the (other) doctor just keeps telling her to take more laxatives instead of stopping to think that something might actually be wrong? That says a lot about the other doctor's idea of healthcare.
If you have poor eyesight and need to wear glasses everyday, would you also think that the medical profession has failed you because they couldn't figure out why you have poor vision and they just gave you prescription glasses instead?
There is a workup for constipation and once structural causes have been ruled out, the diagnosis is then chronic idiopathic constipation. The treatment for this can be one of any number of laxatives. And just like you can choose to live with poor vision or wear the glasses, you can choose to live with constipation or take laxatives. The methods behind the diagnostic and treatment algorithm of constipation (as with most any other medical issue) are based on medical research.
She has better communication skills than some adults.
Really proud of her lack of embarrassment. It helps other people be brave.
Speaking as a psychologist (provisionally registered), the one aspect that is missing here is explaining the connection between anxiety and the autonomic nervous system. She said she's having panic attacks, and after this in her own consult the mother disclosed that she'd had her own severe pain for many years (during the sensitive developmental period for this child) plus breast cancer a year and a half ago and increased pain since then. I would deduce that the family dynamics and health events (through no fault of the family) were significantly contributing to this girl's anxiety, with family stressors and mum's chronic pain making this girl shoulder emotional burdens too big for an 8-year-old (everyone commenting about her maturity, and her attentiveness to her mum during mum's consult). Anxiety stimulates the sympathetic nervous system to get you ready to fight, flight or freeze. It's only when the body/mind is calm that the parasympathetic nervous system can fully activate, which is when digestion can properly get underway. I wouldn't be surprised if her constipation was caused by a combination of the multiple tailbone injuries as well as her ongoing stress and anxiety.
Well,I hope you’re actively practicing medicine!😊
Exactly my thoughts! Because I’ve had similar issues with anxiety/panic attacks and gut health. I just keep getting meds from doctors. I was also thinking (personally hormonal imbalance). Not sure when that would start for a younger girl (maybe puberty?). But I know I have had anxiety my whole life looking back.
P
What a smart, calm and patient kid!
I love how respectful this doctor is, explaining everything to her as they go along.
I can't believe the doctors would let suffer for a year! I am surprised she is not traumatised by now. She did so well!!!
So many Dr's stopped caring since the so called "oc" in the cdc 2016 guidelines
She is most likely traumatized by the year of her constipation and the obviously incompetent nurses doctors and others involved in clinical care. Like many others she’s learned that she gets a semblance of help when she’s behaving mature and smart. I’m impressed by the doctor
If you ever have troubles going to the bathroom, please get tested for bladder cancer or any kind of urinary cancer. My grandfather has not been diagnosed in time and it is now too late, so if this can save anyone… Stay safe ❤️
That would be the case when suddenly becomes a condition but when it is a chronic issue it has to do with the nervous system.
I like that, “treat the cause not the symptom.”
she is so smart and so well spoken for her age god bless her hope she'll get better soon
Such a sweet little girl. I hope this adjustment works and her constipation resolves. Very glad mom and dad took the extra step to go see Dr. Gonstead. Hopefully, there will be a follow-up video.
Dr Rahim is a saint and this little girl is so mature, so articulated.
I hope she gets the help she deserves.
Kinda appaling that it's been going on for a year. Wth is her doctor doing?
I can’t wait for an update! I have IBS and I relate so much to this poor kid❤ chiropractic really helped me feel better across bad days and feel better longer. I hope they feel significantly better over the course of their treatment!
Me too Take Linzess every morning but still have problems with diarrhea n constipation
I had constipation issues at her age. It’s uncomfortable and embarrassing. Luckily it went away. Hang in there young lady, you’ll be over this soon!
One thing I observed is that she holds her arm guardedly as she walks, there is very little swinging there, The left improved after the last correction of her neck, but the right arm still had little to no swing!? That may get better on the next visit.!
I agree totally with other commenters, she is a very intelligent young lady, that helps the good Doctor so much!
Thanks to this young lady for being public about a common problem. It makes em EVERYTHING harder. Best to her.🙏
My mom said I was constipated as a baby and it'd get stuck. Maybe once a month growing up. 20+ years later I got diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, ovarian cysts, endometriosis. Still abdominal pain and bathroom issues.
I watch so many patients come to The office and I'm amazed at how well they are diagnosed and adjusted properly! This young Girl is so knowledgeable about her health❣️🤗👍🙏🏻😘👏😎
I’m 58 and I’ve been dealing with this my whole life😭
I wish we could see him! My daughter has had severe constipation since she was out of diapers (9 yrs old now) & we’re still battling her constipation. From suppositories, enemas, miralax, kristalose, laxatives, prune/apple/pineapple juice & butter concoction nurses made, physical extraction many times at the ER, special diets, more water intake, we’ve done it all! Seen pediatrician, ER & urgent care docs, specialist/gastroenterologist. Nothing has worked. We always leave with a list of laxatives to take. Basically given a bandaid when we need a reason why. A solution to this years long ordeal.
Have You tried with diet? No sugar, no wheat and no corn.
😊
😊
Could be anxiety about anything. Holding in your feelings and not being able to express them can cause constipation.
This little girl is so cute and adorable. She talks with clear voice, shows her confidence, determination, authority, and power. She talks loud and clearly, she don't seem to be nervous, and she carries a good powerful personality. I really enjoy watching Dr. Rahim's video. He is a healer, a true healer. Hats off to you Dr. Rahim. The attribute of your name can be seen in your treatment. Thanks for sharing with us.
I'm looking forward to the next visit and seeing what's changed. Brilliant young lady and great feedback from her!
Can you imagine if all doctors had his bedside manner, knowledge and compassion
I believe the chiropractors of the world are on to something. Wow, this guy
God bless you for your kindness and thinking outside of the box!! Long term laxatives are terrible and cause the gut to become dependent on them. Praying this young lady gets on track with your treatment! I’m going to share this video with my chronic illness community on Instagram. And my UA-cam channel.
We know how good Doctor Rahim is, but what a super young lady.
Wow, I'm impressed with this doctor and how professional and compassionate he is!
Same issue here no pooping for two years!!!
I figured it out on my own and Chiro is on the menu again!!
❤️❤️❤️
Yes. I’m so interested in her progress I also injured my tail bone and I have serious issues with constipation for years. Thanks for sharing.
Me too! My coccyx is bent, twisted/rotated, and has shattered, and there's bone fragments floating around down there. I've had tailbone pain since I was a little girl, so I'm assuming I broke it when I was too young to remember. I have had constipation issues since I was really young too.
Now I'm in my mid 30's I'm having even more issues 😞. I've had 20+ pelvic surgeries, including having most of my rectum removed, bowel perforation, ileostomy, bowel obstruction, stoma reversal, and a bunch more. I'm actually going to see a chiropractor tomorrow to see if they can help with constipation and tailbone pain.... Please, dear God, I hope it works 🙏!!!!!
She was so adorable, and she seemed to understand what was being done.
Wishing all the best for this young lady and her loving parents.
If I could afford to fly to the states I would 100% seek his help, so very knowledgeable and easy for people to understand his style of explaining although I’ve studied anatomy & physiology he would have made a great teacher for someone like me who struggles with dyslexia!
"Gave me an Ouchy" So cute 🥰 Smart Young Lady !
aww she is so cute. I hope this fixes her issue.
I first started taking my son to a chiropractor because of constipation. After a while, whenever we would come in through the front door, he would run to the bathroom and have a BM before his appointment. A bit of Pavlovian response.😅
An amazing young girl. A real lady. Gongratulation on your kid parents.
She's such an adorable child..all the best to her. And great job Dr. RAHIM
I first saw the video with her mom where this kiddo told she’s good in remembering situations, not numbers and words. Then I saw her here describing the falls on tailbone in much detail.. made me smile.
When I was young I also had a difficult time pooping. My Dr recommended laxatives. They worked awfully until they didn’t work anymore. Your body can become accustomed to them and then nothing will happen. I used to look like I was pregnant, and over lots of time, change of habits, it became more regular. But every now and again I need some milk of magnesium. The laxatives ruined the bio dome of my body.
I think this family are very special and what loving and caring parents. Dr Rahim was very professional and really listened to this little girl.
Amazing job. She’s so young bless her and you did so well to help her be comfortable and feel alright through the whole thing.
"I pop bottles, I crack jokes and I set bones"
- Dr Rahim 2023 😎
"Temperature Meter on the spine" So that's what that is. I was always wondering but never enough to go searching for this mysterious device. That makes so much sense since inflammation causes heat.
She is very reserved but smart like introverts are, like myself. That's not a negative, just not appreciated in our society. I was looking for the update to Alina's condition but just realized this was posted yesterday. I hope things are... working the way they should.
I've lived with constipation since birth. Once a month is a blessing 😀 I don't care about the causes, just want some symptom relief.
Try castor oil. It will clean your gut. My dad tells me that when they were kids they were given castor oil to drink and made it sit in toilet. Result is that quick
Wow! The poor sweet articulate little girl, her case feels extreme. Let’s hope this Dr relieves her symptoms and she becomes regular. You will be fine because your in good hands
Smart girl love the way she responds to the Doc
Great work doc, the young lady is so polite and articulate, good parenting helps so it has to be down to them
Very smart and confident little girl 😊
I love all his advice. Very good. My son was born with hyper lax muscles, tendons, ligaments it even affected his digestion. He too was prescribed suppositories at 3 weeks old. 🙄
I started giving him 5mls of prune juice in pre boiled water in his bottle once a day. Worked wonderfully, no cramps. After weaning started Weetabix cereal for breakfast. Had no problems since. He's now 20 years old. 😘
All well and ends well.🥰
That was brilliant & I’m sure that little lady is doing fine now she’s been “re~set” & that guy knows his stuff too. Great work all round🎉
Thanks to this little girl!! She helped me understand my own issues with constipation. Bless her and the doctor ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Very well spoken young lady!
Wow poor girl, I was once backed up for a month after quitting smoking and a round of antibiotics and I wanted to climb up a wall. Hope she’s able to find relief
I was constantly constipated as a kid also. I was constantly on laxatives. My mom changed my diet and it helped. Diet is very important too and exercise. I was sedentary and didn't participate in sports because of my asthma and other lung problems. Very smart little girl and well behaved.
Thank you so much for explaining what you are doing and making sure she was comfortable, so many don’t do that.
I had a paramedic check my ear recently and he asked to touch my neck and check the glands and was like it’s so important to ask and and make sure the patient is comfortable.
Dr Rahim killing it as always
Such cute cool kid !! N soo mature in her communication ! 😊
I haven't pooped for three weeks, and I'm even struggling, sending prayers
Magnesium Citrate is key to going to bathroom. I suffered from Constipation for many years to the point of having to get hemorrhoid surgery.. Doctor told me never come here saying you have not gone to the bathroom in a week..Colace , metamusil, eat fiver..A friend of mine told her Dr told her we should all take magnesium that is very necessary for us and we are all depleated of this mineral...I looked up online and many people gave testimony of having a good effect on going to bathroom...I tried it and have been takimg it ever since it is sold in capsules and powder. I take capsules. usually.one but if I feel I need extra I take 2 and sometimes I have to run for the bathroom 😅 but I dont mind...Is better than the alternative...I put it here in case it can help even if one person...Always buy Vitamin suplements that are non gmo.
This doctor is Master Class..
You are a blessing dr. Rahim
Absolutely fascinating. I never would have known the relationship between spine and digestion. I wish all doctors could be this thorough. I wonder if she knew she had a mild scoliosis.
Take laxatives and crap it out is fine for a one-off but for a whole year? I was in the hospital earlier this year and the lack of movement (because I pretty much couldn't move) and all the meds made me constipated so bad I cried. We're talking razor blades once the system got working.
This girl's parents made the right call in going to you for help.
First indication of lower back issues is a change in urination and/or defecation. Why did a GP never ask if she'd have any falls?
She is only..about ten years old...so brave..to have her bones set.
Excellent work! Informative.
One Magnesium daily. Laxatives don’t belong anywhere but the toilet.
Dr, have you thought about a cardioneurologic rare illness called dysautonomia? In my case it has also affected the intestines and I used to spend a month without pooping. Nowadays I do take massive amount of laxative tea in order to function whenever I spend 3 or more days without evacuating.
Obviously I have a great amount of other symptoms. But hers rang me a bell
Sensible doctor! Simple!
i would love to the hear the result, good stuff Rahim.
I wish I could meet this guy. Ive had constipation issues for years and also was born with Spina Bifida (paralyzed from the waist down.) Doctors keep telling me the same thing about laxatives but thats not helping.
Great job doc, as usual!!! I wish you a speedy recovery, young lady!! You're a very mature and lovely girl!!! Happy pooping!!!!
C'est tellement intéressant toutes ces explications.
Very mature young lady. I hope her treatments help her. I may need to take my daughter in for the same thing going on with her.
Why cant all doctors be like this i was told at the age of 15 i have a spastic colon i used to have very bad cramps, suffered with constipation,got older cramps went away still get constipated i was always prescribed tablets not one doctor took the time to see why im 55 now
I have experienced just a little of this and I can say it is “sensational”!
I love how this doctor isn’t just about cracking bones
I had so much trouble as a child pooping, no one could figure out why. Finally I was diagnosed with a tethered cord of the spinal cord and I have a binine long tumor up and now my back.
I hope that girl gets better.
Running will definitely help. Every time I go for a run and haven’t been it does kick start the process.
Constipation is often a function of pelvis floor dysfunction and a deficit of muscular coordination.
Wow i had multiple tailbone injuries and i suffer with Ulcerative Colitis, constipation, and Interstitial Cystitis.
This Dr is phenomenal!!!
Also, the ONLY Doc that gave me healing and treated me with respect as a child was my mum's CHIRO.
God bless this girl
Wow! Excelente 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Awesome! Wow ,he's really good!
Amazing dr.!!
Exactly what happened to me, I was constipated for most of my life, until I was adjusted by my Chiropractor. I took about a year of adjustments, but I havent had a problem for the last 15 years.
I feel this little girl will go places. And like Yogi Bear says 'She's smarter than the average bear'.
That's cute😁
Is her Dad okay ? I get the feeling when looking at him that he isn't very well ...
Wow. I’ve had bowel issues since having 2 kids and I’ve also had many of the spinal issues this girl had, along with sacro iliac joint disorder. I have never heard about how the spine and the nervous system influences digestion but it makes sense.
Poor kid needs a good GI doctor. I would suspect she has Celiac disorder. I have that and basically the cilia in the intestines do not function properly. Often that happens because they are all gunked up by gluten. Celiacs can't properly digest gluten because we lack the ability to produce the correct enzymes. My daughter who is also Celiac eventually had her colon completely quit functioning. No motility at all. She had to have it removed and now is doing much better.
Awww sweet little girl
@11:40 what is the Megan blasie (sp) that you’re referring to? I’m not familiar
Holy moly!!! I could really see how crooked she was and after adjustment she was even. Incredible.
Please can you let us know where I can find that poster over the autonomic nervous system, I would love to have a closer look at that!
Very interesting!
It’s shocking that the Dr would prescribe this child laxatives instead of finding the root of the problem & working to solve it???
Very interesting case I’m interested to see the outcome of this. As soon as I can afford you I will book my flight I don’t want surgery on my back. They keep saying I can be left incontinent if it gets worse I have another MRI on Wednesday I just don’t have money just now I’m from Scotland UK
she's just a brave girl
