Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You need to try a regular healthy diet with your child. This means healthy diet with soups, vegetables, fruits. Of course use plenty of water, orange juice, apple juice. Use fruits like kiwi, plums, apple and avoid bananas. Use fig jam, plum jam in her everyday. Of course avoid fast food, snack food. You should massage her intestine from time to time to increase her intestinal movement. You can use lactulose or micro climate only in short period or in emergency cases.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
