Had Ruby back to the doctors 3 times now...
She has been suffering with constipation for around 6 months now. She would go a few days without passing, and when she did go it would be so hard and big, she would be in a right state passing it, and sometimes it cut her little bum so there would be a bit of blood when I wiped her
She was prescribed Myvicol salts which she is taking daily. These made the stools softer but she still wasnt going regularly.
Doc then gave her lactalose (sp?) which didnt seem to work either!!
She is now back on the salts again and has been for a few weeks. she went finally this morning after 4 days, OH has been on and on at me every day saying something is wrong and she should be going every day. its making me so unhappy now-I am obsessed with her bowel movements!! It was fairly soft today and she didnt cry.
Her diet is good-she loves friut and veg, and drinks plenty of juice and water through the day...
Has anyone else experience of this? Is it normal for her not to go every day???
Its really starting to get to me now, I feel like I am doing something wrong....
