Don't know if you can post this for members?
Hi, I need some help and can't seem to find answers online anywhere.
So I will try my best to cut a long story short!
2 year old daughter- she has always been fussy with food, even as a baby she was really difficult to feed and as a result has suffered on and off with constipation, until a few weeks ago I could just adjust her diet a bit to help her (mix some puréed prunes into her porridge!) and it didn't bother her. Over the last month she has got more and more irritable(I think some of this is just due to her age but she's always been such a happy girl) she started complaining of sore tummy/sore bottom so about a week and a half ago I went to the dr who put her on movicol for a month to help clear her out. Getting it into her is tricky but after a week or so it does seem to be working but poos are still erratic (4 one day and none the next). She is still in nappies, not ready for potty training yet. However, she literally has zero appetite-won't eat anything (has had half a slice of toast all day), has constant wind and is now complaining of a sore back. Not sure whether to go dr or wait it out? Are the symptoms linked? Coeliac and diabetes run in the family so that is also on my mind. For the last 6 months she has also been crying when we put her to bed so she's been generally moany-it's hard to distinguish between normal toddler-ness and an illness. Just after a bit of advice if anyone has come across this before, thanks in advance.
