[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a kid who had chronic constipation/impaction issues for over two years. We took her to a specialist who said the problem is generally functional, not medical.  I.e., the kid doesn't go poop for whatever reason, the poop gets harder and more painful to pass, and then doesn't want to poop even more.  It's a vicious cycle that needs to be broken by behavior as much as anything else.  The problem is more prevalent in girls.  The PP who says there must be a medical problem is full of crap (pun absolutely intended).

As for Miralax, we had mixed results, but we took to mixing into chocolate pudding at one point (but since dairy can be constipating, we didn't do it often).  We are down now to having benefiber in water in the morning with an extended time on the potty after breakfast.

I'm the full of crap poster.  :mrgreen:

I didn't mean that there's a medical cause, but constipation is a problem, one that falls under the jurisdiction of medical professionals.  The fact that you were willing to take your child to a specialist, and give them medication, and refer to it as an "issue" makes me think that you also think it was a problem.  My use of the term medical problem was in response to the Gatoridiot who was essentially saying "but we're talking about kids with no issues", no we're talking about kids with a specific issue that, regardless of it's cause (and I agree it can totally be functional in origin) now needs to be treated medically.
