[quote=Anonymous]We deal with this with one of our kids. It is another facet of constipation which is caused by lack of fiber and lack of fluids. You need to really dramatically up your fluids and ask your OB about safe stool softeners (DC takes Miralax). Otherwise all the fiber is making the problem worse. I think I was offered Colase in the hospital but check witht he doc. Depending on when you poop, you can leave it in the toilet overnight and it will absorb some water there that may make it break up. But you really want it to be softer to begin with and combine that with more fiber. The GI told us 64 oz at minimum of fluids and we push foods like soup, veggies, and fruit like grapes and watermellon. Some foods like cheese, rice and bananas are very binding and should be avoided. Daily exercise like walking is also helpful in moving things along. [/quote]
