The little tummy
So constipation seems to be a fairly big issue with PTHS kids and also for Freja!
Hers started right before summer, about 3 months before she turned 2 years. In the beginning we didn’t think much of it (we didn’t have the diagnosis either) and just gave her proon purĂ© but at the end of summer that was insufficient.
Then we got a liquid medicine called Duphalac to give her every day but that is a laxative so the child neurologist didn’t think we should use that all the time. Better to focuse on fibers, so instead or as a main medicine we got Movicol (a powdery texture which is filled with fibers) that we can put in her food and then use Duphalac as a supplement when needed.
He also said we should see a dietist or nutricianist to learn what food worsens the constipation and which eases it. I think there is one connected to our Hab. so I will ask next time we are there.
In Sweden we have a special formula for older kids that they often get before night time and Freja drinks that both morning and night but unfortionatly formula worsens the constipation. Typical... However there is a way to get around that by exchanging a small amount of the formula with ”husk”, so I think we will try that because she loves her bottle.
Anyways milk wasn’t good, nore was pasta so we do really need help with what to give her and what not to give her. Fortiunatly our kids love vegetibles, especially broccoli, so I’m hoping the changes might not be so big. We have already exchanged rice with bulgur since rice really is bad for my diabetes so thats already done.
To be continued I guess... đ€
