[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The first thing to do is get an x-ray. If his colon is backed up, he is constipated. I wouldn't put him on any medication before doing that. You can do the x-ray through your pediatrician. If he is constipated, see a GI specialist. I took our child to a urologist due to similar issues, but he wouldn't do anything until the constipation is cleared up. [/quote] I would seriously hope a pediatrician would not just order an x-ray. First, there is no signs of constipation but bed wetting which isn't really a sign. How about distended abdomen. Abdominal pain, poor appetite, hyper/hypo active BS. Diarrhea or hard stool, nausea/vomiting. Second, an x-ray may show a bowel obstruction but may not show minor constipation. Third, a physician needs more history, or at least they should before subjecting a child to unnecessary radiation. [/quote] Plus just give him prunes.[/quote]
