Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter is having constipation which could be due to irritable bowel syndrome, incomplete clearance of waste products, eating a lot of dairy products, improper metabolism, lesser roughage in diet, acidity and certain other systemic conditions. Need not to worry. For now drink lot of water , do light exercises and avoid fatty and heavy meals. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order colonoscopy or other tests to look for blockages in your colon , barium studies and blood test for hormonal changes. Doctor may prescribe fiber supplement psyllium, calcium polycarbophil , osmotic laxatives , stool softeners and medicine to reduce acidity.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
