severe constipation for my 3 yr old son!!! pls help

Try Flax seeds,prune juice and probiotics.It worked for my son.

 

Sometimes it can become a vicious cycle as the child may be afraid of pooping and that also causes constipation. With my youngest I noticed that he will not do it if we are not at home so I hade to limit my visits to other houses (max one night away). He also got scared (as it hurted) so for many months I had the potty in the living room and he watched cartoons while he did it (to relax). Was so embarrassed when had some guests over and he walked to the bathroom, got the potty and sat in front of the TV ...

The important thing is the diet. Lot of fruits, veggies, seeds and nuts. Limit amount of white flour, sugar, white rice and pasta. Lot of fluids to drink.

 

Try to give him juice of 5-7 grapes. Just squeeze ripe grapes and you will get about 2 tbl spn juice. It worked for my daughter.

 

Fiber is imp. Fruits like orange,apples,mangoes etc. Make sure he eats fruits and not just juices as fruits have all the good fiber. Oatmea,whole wheat chapatis. If u have methi seeds make a powder of it and give him a spoon. It will b bitter but u can mix it with something sweet to make it edible or make him eat methi leaves rotis/parathas or methi sabzi.prunce juice is good too.

 

Also some warm water few times a day. You can add few drops of lemon juice too. Warm water really helps during constipation.

 

Hi
You can add greens like Palak to the meals and also you can give guava

 

Is he on iron supplement or eating raagi .both of these cause constipation . Get it checked with and see if he any tears which might be painful when passing tools . Try and heal any wounds , include prune juice or dr to give some laxative for some period of time . Once he gets over the anxiety and pain for passing stools it might get better .

include lot of fiber and water in food . Keep suppositories ready at home which can be used to soften the stool if it becomes very painful .

 

Are you adding ghee to his diet. If not, try adding at least 2 spoons per day. This will ease his stools. I have told this solution to few of my friends for their kids & it worked too.
