[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is an obvious question but hav you tried all the known foods, first? (Not trying to be snarky). My 3 year old struggles with constipation but it's definitely kept in check with nearly daily oatmeal, lots of vegetables and fruits, and a couple of prunes a day. [/quote]

We are working on it.  We've fallen into a cycle of daycare illness - out of school for a week to 10 days, change in diet at home, not much drinking - to finally getting her unstopped to repeating two weeks later with the next illness.  I'm not kidding, it's been every two weeks since May.

We are always coming in or out of an illness and I don't actually know if she gets enough fiber in her diet when she is at home.  Just increasing liquids doesn't work like it used to.

Ugh, toddler constipation is the worst. We are in the middle of a Miralax cleanse- please no caution about it, she needs it for now - and she came down with a super high fever on Sunday in the middle of it.  So that's been a cluster foxtrot.

Actually strongly considering pulling her from daycare and getting a nanny so her system can reset because it's not working.

Ugh thank you for letting me vent. [/quote]

Try a kiddie probiotic. [/quote]
