So after many many MANY threads about my DD's constipation we have now moved on to another awful problem. She still occasionally gets constipated after many severe bouts of it (involving months of being on miralax on and off and other invasive/extensive measures) now mostly when she refuses fruits/veggies for a couple of days since she is, after all, a toddler. After the last nasty constipation bout she is now holding poop. I don't think she is actually constipated although it has been about 5 days since her last poop of any significance. We finally did miralax again last night but I am not sure what else to do besides all the added flax seed, wheat bran, oat bran, blueberries (won't do prunes or many fruits) etc etc. Every time she starts to poop she screams and cries and if I try to get near her or even look at her she yells "All done, all done, no poop". She won't sit on the potty without freaking out and she pushes but she squeezes her buttcheeks together at the same time so nothing really comes out.
I am so stressed about the poop and so tired of being stressed about her poop. We have been having major, awful, stressful poop issues since she was 7 months old. How do I help her to stop holding in her poop?
