[|Human|] Hi there My toddlers poop is quite often mucusy amd stringy or hard as rocks and almost black. She does not eat dairy and suffers from severe constipation so has laxatives to help her go to the toilet and repair her bowel. I am worried though as she has bern on these a while and won t poop without them but if she has them its stringy... my paed says this is normal after having suffered from constipation as the bowel needs to repair. Any advice would be appreciated
[|AI|]  HI...your pediatrician was right. This is quite common while getting better in constipation. I will suggest you certain measure to manage constipation. Suggestions:1. Natural methods are the best to relieve constipation.2. Constipation is a risk factor for UTI3. Maximum milk consumption per day should not exceed 300-400ml4. Minimum 3-4 cups of fruits and vegetables to be consumed per day5. Toilet training - that is - sitting in Indian type of lavatory daily at the same time will help a lot. Regards -
