What Causes Hard Stools And Frequent Constipation?
My 17 month old son has had chest infections from birth, his cousin has cystic fibrosisand they are doing a test to rule it out they think its unlikely that he has it. He is taking salbutomal and clenil modulite 50mg inhalers. I was staying with my mum at weekend and she mentioned his stools being white, I thought this was normal. My son always had hard stools and often gets constipated. Any ideas whats causing this?
