Micah has never suffered with constipation before, but the last couple of weeks he's only been having a bowel movement every 2 days instead of his usual once or twice a day, and he's started complaining of a sore tummy before he poos. His diet hasn't changed, but he has started having a dose of Abidec vitamins every day as recommended by a pharmacist despite his varied diet.
He eats at least 3 pieces of fruit a day and always has water available.
Here are a couple of examples of his diet:
B: a slice of toast with peanut butter and an orange
S: cup of milk (with vitamins in) a few dry shredded wheats and 2 dates.
L: 2 mini cheese and onion scones, pepper strips and carrot sticks
S: a pear
D: A small baked sweet potato with hummus, peas, sweetcorn and carrots. Another cup of milk and 2 dried figs
B: onion bagel with butter and a satsuma. A cup of milk (with vitamins in).
L: 4 omelette bites (made 6 from 2 eggs, half a courgette and half a small leek) 3 cherry tomatoes and half a rice cake with a slice of Camembert cheese.
S: an apple
D: curried lentils, onions, carrots and peas topped with butternut squash and cheese. Milk.
Any suggestions as to what could be causing it? Should I try stopping the vitamins or is it likely to be unrelated?
