what is the reason for my daughter constipation and stomach pain
hi hirschsprung disease cmpa barium enema study continue on same diet till further plan revert back with the previous investigation reports to a paediatrician online
hi doctor my 18 month old daughter has had problems since birth and I am desperate for a second opinion the history is complicated trying to explain the symptoms but I will do my best it was detected polyhydramnios in pregnancy my daughter born at 36 weeks days through emergency section due to pre eclampsia her weight was 3070g no tube passed three times due to polyhydramnios we went home on day two readmitted on day five for phototherapy till months of age several visits with health visitor and go for colic like symptoms and constipation she will scream in pain which opening her bowel and only opening her bowels every four to five days over this time they tried colief infacol lactulose glycerin suppositories ranitidine gaviscon and domperidone nine different formulas and we also tried all common natural remedies for reflux like keeping upright after feeding etc no alleviation of symptoms at all with exception of glycerin suppositories which did seem to help the constipation in months pediatric consultant suggests functional constipation and recommends higher dose of lactulose and movicol for 16 weeks he suggested that we are giving her too many glycerin suppositories and that is making her dependent on glycerin to open her bowels and so glycerin was stopped we delayed weaning whilst waiting for appointment at this point her symptoms completely changed to intermittent diarrhea and constipation bowel frequency increased to once a day colic like pain and she does not start vomiting until the consistency of the food moves up to a more solid consistency the laxatives made absolutely no difference in her 10 months of age the constipation has turned to diarrhea the doctor is happy that it was functional constipation and discharged her at months she had first acute episode of chronic diarrhea and forceful vomiting lasted for 16 days which coincides with the introduction of cow milk during 14 months of age she was introduced to solid food chronic forceful vomiting which does not seem to follow any pattern a food diary is followed for several weeks and there does not seem to be any consistent non ice allergy as a cause during her 14 months of age we had an appointment with dietician and switched from normal formula to pepsi and then neocate her chronic wheeze disappears overnight but chronic vomiting continues she troubleshoot overfeeding as a cause we are feeding her more as she is vomiting when we did not substitute the feeds she lost weight so if she vomited a feed we gave her another one hour later we fed her small quantities throughout the day to try and prevent vomiting again in 15 months consulted her dietician and he suggested definite non ice cow milk protein allergy and to try trial and error with other three common allergies soy wheat and dairy so then for a month we followed strict elimination of those three this month she had only neocate liquid diet plus corn snacks organix and one paella meal symptoms improved but sporadic forceful vomiting remains she tolerated only one baby paella meal well which is overcooked rice very mushy consistency now again we attempted to challenge the three foods back in and move beyond this one meal all attempts were failed her reaction to us seems to be much more about the consistency of the food rather than what the food is she can tolerate a large amount of breadcrumbs but cannot tolerate a piece of toast we continue with food diary and there really is no clear pattern which isolates one food again in her 17 months age when we consulted her dietician he was unsure whether the symptoms fit flies at all and suggests gastro referral then she had second acute episode we went a and on day five and was sent home with suggestion of gastroenteritis chronic vomiting and diarrhea lasted 15 days she lost 10 of her body weight sent home on neocate as the only diet but there is no evidence of gagging choking or problem swallowing no fussing or wriggling during feeding four months back her weight was 12 keg and now 10 keg her barium ray showed mild malrotation but at met it was decided this was not explanation of symptoms we have recently tried omeprazole to rule out severe reflux and it made no change genetic blood tests kidney and abdominal ultrasound were normal for us her symptoms now are identical to what they were like before the onset of weaning again she is suffering from intermittent colic pain and constipation but there is no vomiting she is not sleeping well at all we have increased her water intake and added lactulose and the stools are no longer hard but she still seems uncomfortable stools are very dark green we have tried a couple of solids she prefers crunchy food she tolerates corn based crisps as they basically dissolve into crumbs into your mouth we tried peas grapes and she passed all of the peas grapes and beans completely undigested in her feces without solids she does not sleep well at all because the neocate just does not fill her up for long enough and so she is screaming all night because she is hungry so we tried a few solids and she is still screaming half the night with colic like pain she is clearly in pain because she is absolutely screaming she is pretty inconsolable but the only thing that does relieve it is sucking on something like a bottle of water she is waking up about every 20 to 30 minutes throughout the night during the day she still has this colic like symptoms and she is tired and clingy and uninterested in playing she does tend to have one to two hours a day of good time where she will play happily one month back we had consultation with slt her elder sister is under slt
