Suggest Treatment For Frequent Small Bowel Movements
My son started having bowel problems when he was 10 months old. It was constipation to begin with and then he started going to often. He would do mostly small movements up to 15 times a day. He had X-ray and it showed he had a build up and was told to take Movical. It worked great for first few months and was only doing 4-5 nappies a day, but he started to go more often again and we slowly reduced Movical. He is now 3 and on half a sachet once a week but is still doing small bowel movements 6-10 times a day. His bum is sore all the time and we can t potty train because of him going so often. Could there be something else going on?
Hi...alternating constipation and diarrhea with rash around the bum...I put forth these possibilities - 1. Constipation getting better and the resultant diarrhea cause rash around the bums. 2. Inflammatory bowel disease - this can be diagnosed only by endoscopy and tissue biopsy. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
