night terrors in children is usually caused by stress , either psychological stress or physiologic stress .
try to look for any thing that bothers her or frightened her , if there is a social issues try not let her involved in that .
constipation might cause a physiologic stress but rarely if ever can cause a night terror , for this condition give her miralax sachets once a day or lactulose syrup 5 ml twice daily and that will loose her stool .
I hope this helps
