[|Human|] so my son was told he had a bowel obstruction. not our first go around. he seems to have them chronically. usually when they have us do a medical cleanout at home for them the stool he passes becomes very dark. This time it is getting lighter with time and has passed nothing dark at all. Usually they have us use large amounts of mirolax but this time they have us using magnesium citrate, dulcolax, chronulac, and senokot. is this normal for there to be nothing dark, which we were told the dark was the old causing the obstruction, with the different medications he is using this time, or is there something to worry about?

Did your kid pass motion or meconium on day one of life?2. Since how long is the kid constipated?3. Does the kid have any bleeding along with hard stools?4. How much milk does the kid consume per day?5. Does the kid eat fruits and vegetables (fiber diet) appropriately? 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. You can approach me at the following link.
