What Causes Difficulty Bowel Movements In Children?

Hi my daughter is having issues around bowel mvts. She has been seen by a gastro and is on 2 exlax daily and half a capful of miralax. So far all tests have come back negative-ciliac, blood work. She is in the process of urinating on the potty every now and then but she continues to hold the stool which seems to be the painful part for her. When she does go, usually in a pull up it does not seem, painful its everything before she goes. Her qualityof life is diminishing

Hi.

Have you tried dietary changes. Like ,for example, does she take fresh fruits and vegetables. fresh fruits and vegetables ensures good bowel movements. Encourage her to drink warm water at regular intervals,it aids in digestion and bowel movements.

Maintain a food diary, maybe she has gluten allergy or lactose intolerance etc. You would be able to assess which foods are worsening her symptoms, and which foods do not cause a problem.
