Pls don't read if you are the sensitive type but if you find constipation and other related items here beneficial to you, then read on...)
Mariel was constipated since April, I even rushed her once to the hospital because there was blood in her poo but it was just a simple laceration due to her rocky hard poo. I went to see her Pedia after two days so that she will be prescribed with laxatives as I am afraid to use suppository. He prescribed 2 tsp of Karo syrup in her water or milk and duphalac (lactolose) 2 times a day, 2 - 4 ml. We gave him lots of fluids, pear juice (I blended pear fruit with lots of water) and a scoopful of sugar in her water. Her meals included cerelac oats with prunes, papaya, avocado, Gerber fruit medley, squash or sweet potato. It worked for only a few days but she still cries when she deficates. I increased the dosage of her Karo syrup and duphalac and I have gotten to the point of giving her 5ml of Karo Syrup in her every milk.
Last June 7, we were in Pangasinan and went to see Dr. Marvin Callanta in Pozorrubio. He was her Pedia when she contacted amoebiasis last February. We were there for her flu or measles vaccine. He injected MMR instead since it is much wiser giving her MMR (Mumps, Measles, Rubella) than just Measles vaccine. I also consulted him about her constipation and he prescribed fibrosine only and asked me to gradually reduce the Karo syrup until it is no longer part of her diet. I used corn oil instead but I eventually stopped using it. She still cries when she go so I asked my friend pharmacist in Mercury to give me a liquid laxative. I tried giving Mariel Dulcolax SP and it worked.
Good thing, she is now intestinally Ok :-) Two nights ago, I forgot to give her Dulcolax and she was crying again yesterday as she excreted. She had not make a go today yet because I forgot to add Fibrosine to her first milk this morning but I am hoping that she will be OK.
Perhaps the reintroduction of solid food after she recovered from Amoebiasis and too much probiotics in her stomach made her excretes solid. Maybe she was also traumatized that she learned to hold back her poo which makes it harder as peristalsis is being hindered (water as they say is removed in the last part of digestion) making it more difficult to be removed.
