Overcoming constipation's emotional trauma
Quote:
|
Caroline's greatest fear was that her son Jack would have no control over his bowels when he started school.
When he was about 18 months old, he was diagnosed with toddler diarrhoea, put on a low-fibre diet and his mum Caroline was told he would grow out of the problem.
But the diarrhoea continued and so did the accidents.
"He would go to nursery with a bag of spare clothes because he had two or three accidents a day," Caroline says.
[...]
With no sign of any improvement after almost two years, Caroline sought a second opinion and Jack was diagnosed with chronic constipation. The diarrhoea had just been a symptom of a more serious underlying problem.
[...]
Caroline describes how they had to help Jack retrain his body how to poo which led to a battle of wills and many, many tears.
Now that he is five years old, in Reception class, and in a good toilet routine, he is a very different boy, his mum explains.
"Physically he is much more content and, because his body is working better, he is happier."
Looking back, Caroline knows that with a correct, early diagnosis and some proper support Jack's early years should have been very different.
